Question

What is the biological polymer in the paper?

Answer 1

Biological polymer:

1. The large molecules comprising many identical smaller molecules associated together in a chain-like manner are called biological polymers.
2. The polymer is formed of individual smaller molecules known as monomers.
3. They are formed of lipids, proteins, or carbohydrates and are thus are considered biological.

Cellulose:

1. It is the most copious organic polymer found on the planet.
2. It is a polysaccharide formed of a linear chain of beta-1,4 associated d-glucose units.
3. It is a fiber, which forms the cell walls of plants, therefore, it is found in all the plants.

Cellulose is the biological polymer found in the products of plants like paper.
