Question
The diagram below represents a process through which glucose found in plant material can be converted into HMF. HMF is an organic compound that can be further broken down into the components needed to produce polyester.
Which of the following is true about polyester produced through this process?
A.
It can be converted back to plant material.
B.
It has the same chemical properties as plant material.
C.
It is a natural resource.
D.
It is a synthetic material.

The correct answer is:
D. It is a synthetic material.
Polyester produced through the conversion of glucose (derived from plant material) into HMF and then into polyester is considered synthetic because the process involves chemical transformation and synthesis that creates a new material not found in nature in its final form.
D. It is a synthetic material.
