synthetic. Some of the natural polymers are starch, cellulose, proteins and
nucleic acids etc. Synthetic polymers are man-made polymers such as
polyethylene, PVC, teflon, nylon etc.
(b) It has been observed that there are some organic compounds other than
carbohydrates, proteins and facts, which are necessary for normal growth and
maintenance of health. These specific organic compounds are known as
vitamins. They are classified into two bread types based on their solubility in

vacancy) and occupies on interstitial site. This defect is generally found is silver
halides because of the small size of Ag + ions.
