Answer:

Explanation:

PLA (polyactic acid) is typically made from the sugars in corn starch, cassava or sugarcane. It is biodegradable, carbon-neutral and edible. To transform corn into plastic, corn kernels are immersed in sulfur dioxide and hot water, where its components break down into starch, protein, and fiber.

Green synthesis is more "biodegradable, carbon-neutral and edible". To convert the corn into "plastic, corn kernels" are absorbed in SO_{2} and 'hot water', where its components are split down into protein, starch, and fiber.
