Q. Which of the following is a biodegradable polymer?

AIIMSAIIMS 2004Polymers

Solution:

Cellulose is a biodegradable polymer. Different enzymes secreted by bacteria digest it. Synthetic polymers like polyvinyl chloride, nylon-6, polyester, polyethene etc.) are not acted upon by bacteria and hence, are nonbiodegradable.
