You should use the biodegradable polymers in day to day life. The routine use of very thin plastic bags has created very real hazard in your life. The This plastic does not decompose and has been creating a serious hazard, specially in developing countries. Stray cows eat the plastic bags, which they can not digest. These plastic waste is washed to sea and sea animals have been dieing due to consumption of plastic material. You can not burn the plastic bags. They create the toxic fumes. So plastic has to be recycled. It is better to use the biodegradable material, which will be ecofriendly in long term.

What kind of chemicals have proteins?
It depends on what your definition of a chemical is. It is a molecule, and you can react it with other chemicals to form different products, so I would say it is a chemical. You can also synthesize proteins in labs, so that also would point to it being a chemical.
What are macro molecules?
A molecule containing a very large number of atoms.
What are the different types of chemistry?
Organic Chemistry: deals with compounds containing carbon (which is pretty much everything living)Inorganic Chemistry: deals with noncarbon compounds and non-living matter.Physical: deals with the relations between the physical properties of substances and their chemical formations along with their changes.Biochemistry: deals with the composition and changes in the formation of living species.Analytical: deals mostly with the composition of substances.Pharmaceutical: chemistry behind pharmaceutical preparations.Theoretical: usually closely related to physical; has to do with the prediction of chemical properties based on theoretical principals.Polymer: study of, well, polymers (often synthetic, but sometimes biopolymers also).There's considerable overlap between many of these: it's certainly possible to be a physical organic chemist, or a theoretical biochemist, or an analytical polymer chemist, to name just a few combinations based on people I actually know.It's also possible to specialize even further and work exclusively with, say, compounds containing a particular element (other than carbon) such as boron or a group of closely related elements like the lanthanides, or to specialize in a particular subdivision of analytical and/or physical chemistry such as spectroscopy. This makes an exhaustive list essentially impossible, because someone will always manage to find a new niche.
Can you describe a polymer?
Poly- means many, so like a string of pearls, a polymer is a string of chemically bonded monomers: amino acids in proteins, sugars in polysaccharides, strands of nylon and polyacetate, polypropylene, and let us not neglect or omit DNA [polynucleotides] and Rna. A polymer is a chemical compound or mixture of compounds consisting of repeating structural units created through a process of polymerization. The units comprising polymers derive, actually or conceptually, from molecules of low relative molecular mass. The terms polymer and polymeric material encompass very large, broad classes of compounds, both natural and synthetic, with a wide variety of properties. Because of the extraordinary range of properties of polymeric materials, they play an essential and ubiquitous role in everyday life, from those of familiar synthetic plastics and other materials of day-to-day work and home life, to the natural biopolymers that are fundamental to biological structure and function.
