Question

Which of the following is an example of biodegradable waste?

• A. Glass
• B. Metal
• C. Plastic
• D. Fruits

Answer 1

The correct option is D Fruits

• Fruits are organic substances and can be acted upon by microorganisms and converted into simple organic substances by the process of decomposition.
• The fruits are composed of cellulose and pectin which can be decomposed by the enzymes secreted by the microbes. Hence, it is biodegradable waste. Glass, metal, and plastic are non-biodegradable as they are synthetic substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by micro-organisms

So, the correct answer is 'Fruits'
