Which among the following statements is not true?

  1. Biopolymers are a special class of polymers found only in living organisms.

  2. Starch, proteins and peptides, DNA, and RNA are all examples of biopolymers.

  3. Both, polymers and biopolymers, are made of repetitive units called monomers.

  4. Biopolymers can not fold into characteristic compact shapes.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The question asks which statement is NOT true (i.e., false). Option D claims biopolymers cannot fold into characteristic compact shapes, but this is incorrect - biopolymers like proteins fold into complex 3D structures, DNA coils into helices, and RNA forms specific tertiary structures. Therefore, D is indeed a false statement and is the correct answer. Options A, B, and C are all true statements about biopolymers.
