2 examples of naturally occurring polymers are proteins & starches.
Examples that occur naturally are DNA, proteins, cellulose, quartz, diamond, asbestos and mica.
I neglected to say that there are several hundred or thousands repeated units that make up the giant polymer molecules.
Two examples of naturally occurring polymers are:
1. Proteins: Proteins are complex and crucial macromolecules found in living organisms. They are built from amino acid monomers linked together through peptide bonds. Proteins have diverse functions in the body, including enzyme catalysis, structural support, transport, and immunity. Examples of naturally occurring proteins include collagen, found in skin, bones, and connective tissues, and hemoglobin, present in red blood cells.
2. Cellulose: Cellulose is a structural polysaccharide and the main component of plant cell walls. It consists of chains of glucose monomers linked together via beta glycosidic bonds. Cellulose provides strength and rigidity to plant cells, allowing them to maintain their shape. Additionally, cellulose is an essential dietary fiber and an important renewable resource.
