Question

Difference between biopolymer and biodegradable polymers

Answer 1

Explanation:

These are polymers produced by living organisms (say polymeric biomolecules). They contain monomeric units that are covalently bonded to form larger structures. There are mainly 3 classes of biopolymers: (a) polynucleotides. (b) Polypeptides (c) polysaccharides. Biodegradable polymers: These polymers are either natural or man-made. These are the polymers which break down after its use into simple natural byproducts such as gases (CO2, N2), water, biomass, and inorganic salts. These polymers largely consist of ester, amide, and ether functional groups.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer ☆

We can differentiate between biopolymers and biodegradable polymers as:

☆ Biopolymers:

• These are polymers produced by living organisms say polymeric biomolecules. They contain monomeric units that are covalently bonded to form larger structures.

There are mainly 3 classes of biopolymers:

• a) polynucleotides.
• b) Polypeptides
• c) polysaccharides.

☆ Biodegradable polymer

• These polymers are either natural or man-made. These are the polymers which break down after its use into simple natural byproducts such as gases CO2 N2 water biomass and inorganic salts. These polymers largely consist of ester amide and ether functional groups.
