Q6 of 18 Page 48

Explain following.

a) Blending b) Biodegradable c) Recycling d) Decomposition

a) Blending: It is the process of mixing two different materials into one. The materials are generally the solid one that is mixed with or without the use of small amount of liquid. This technique is used in synthesizing fabrics as blended fabrics are cheap and are of good quality.


b) Biodegradable: Substance that can be disintegrated by the living microorganism for instance bacteria into much smaller chunks. For example, Cotton is biodegradable and can be recycled back after it is used.


c) Recycling: It is the method through which the old/waste/used material can be utilized again. It plays a very positive role in the environment as the resources present already can be used again and again without generating new materials so the chances of resources getting depleted get less.


d) Decomposition: The process in which complex material is disintegrated into smaller pieces by the micro organism such as bacteria when sufficient sunlight, water, and oxygen is available.
