Which of these is a synthetic polymer?
Correct answer: D. Polyester
- A. Animal fat
- B. Starch
- C. Protein
- D. Polyester
Explanation
The correct answer is Polyester. Polyester is a synthetic polymer, meaning it is created through chemical synthesis, rather than occurring naturally. It is widely used in the textile industry for making fabrics. In contrast, Animal fat, Starch, and Protein are all naturally occurring substances. Animal fat is found in animal tissues, starch is a carbohydrate found in plants, and protein is a macromolecule made from amino acids present in all living organisms.
