(a)
Interpretation:
The properties of polymer that supports its desirable uses within the human body have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The polymer properties that makes its use outside of human body have to be identified also from what the contact lenses are made has to be indicated.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers: Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization.
Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.
