Question

Natural polymers that control various life processes in the bodies of organisms are termed biopolymers. Which of the following is a natural polymer but NOT a biopolymer?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

DNA, RNA, and proteins are biopolymers because they control metabolic and life processes. Natural rubber is obtained from plants (natural polymer) but does not actively control life processes in the way nucleic acids or proteins do, hence it is generally not classified strictly as a biopolymer in a metabolic context.
