7. Shalini studied a chapter on polymers in school and came across the following paragraph:

The durability, strength, low cost, water and chemical resistance, welding properties, lesser energy, fewer
atmosphere emissions and light weight are advantages of plastic bags. Shalini is confused as she has been reading in
the newspaper about the ban on the usage of plastic bags. She further fined that despite the durability, the use of
these materials has presented mankind with serious waste disposal problem as these materials do not disintegrate
by themselves. In the view of this, certain polymers are being developed which are broken down rapidly by
microorganisms. Shalini feels relaxed that such kinds of biomaterials are being developed.
Now give the answers of the following questions:
a) Name the class of these useful polymers which do not harm the environment.
b) Give any one example of these polymers and name its monomers.
c) Comment on the qualities of Shalini.
