On the other hand, non-biodegradable substances are those that cannot be broken down by microorganisms. These substances typically contain synthetic compounds, such as plastics and certain types of chemicals, that are not easily broken down by microorganisms. These materials can persist in the environment for a long time, potentially causing harm to living organisms and the ecosystem.

Additionally, biodegradable materials are those that are made of natural compounds like cellulose and starch, while non-biodegradable materials are those that are made of synthetic compounds like plastic and rubber.

In summary, biodegradable substances are those that can be broken down by microorganisms, while non-biodegradable substances are those that cannot be broken down by microorganisms. Natural materials are biodegradable and synthetic materials are non-biodegradable.
