MCQ
Which of the following is a biodegradable polymer?
- ✓Cellulose
- B$\text{PVC}$
- CNylon $-6$
- DPolythene
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Cellulose
The biodegradable polymer is cellulose because many types of microorganisms are known to biodegrade cellulose. Cellulose is the main constituent of plant cell walls which make the leaves, branches strong and hard. Bacteria and fungi are of particular interest because they are the most widely available degrading microorganisms.
