Question

Choose the correct option.
Statement 1 (S1): All macromolecules are polymers.
Statement 2 (S2): All polymers are macromolecules.

• A. S1 is true, but S2 is false.
• B. Both S1 and S2 are true.
• C. S1 is false, but S2 is true.
• D. Both S1 and S2 are true.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

S1 is false, but S2 is true.

All polymers are made up of a large number of constituent atoms so they are also known as macromolecules.
So all polymers are macromolecules.
But all macromolecules are classified into:
1. Natural
2. Man-made
Polymers are man-made macromolecules so all macromolecules are not polymers.
But some macromolecules like chlorophyll and haeoglobins do not have any monomer units and are not polymers.
Thus all the polymers are macromolecules but reverse is not true.

So, the correct answer is option D.
