Answer 2

$\huge\red{\boxed{\bold{Answer}}}$

Detergents having straight hydrocarbon chains are easily degraded by microorganisms and hence are called biodegradable detergents, whereas detergents containing branched hydrocarbon chains are not easily degraded by the microorganisms and hence are called non - biodegradable detergents. As a result, non - biodegradable detergents accumulate in timber and waterways thereby causing severe water pollution.
