Nucleic acids
What is the difference between synthetic and natural fiber?
Natural fibres have been found or have been raised, though synthetic fibres have been man made. synthetic fibers have been made in a factory of some sort and natural fibers have been made by something that can be found in nature
What are some examples of synthetic rocks?
Concrete, Terrazzo
What are two benefits and two problems associated with the use of synthetic polymers?
Here are some...Pros:StrongFlexibleMouldableDurableCons:They are non-biodegradable
What is a synthetic resource?
Synthetic resources are man-made resources, made from natural resources, or resources that come from nature.
What is the definition of semi -synthetic polymer?
semi-synthetic polymers are obtained from natural polymers by subjecting them to some chemical processes. eg: vulcanised rubber.
What are some macromolocules?
Macromolecules are polymers. There are bio-polymers such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and DNA, and there are synthetic polymers such as plastics (polystyrene and polyvinylchloride) and synthetic fibres. Nylon and terylene are also considered macromolecules.
Is synthetic fiber made from plastic?
Some are but others are not made from plastic but from other synthetic polymers.

Is starch a synthetic or natural polymer?
natural, starches are a form of sugar, potatos have a form of starch. I'm sure there are also some synthetic ones as well.
