Despite their differences, all four polymers are made of repeating subunits. This is a common characteristic of polymers, as they are formed from the repetition of smaller units called monomers.
This chart lists four kinds of polymers and their sources.
A 2-column table titled polymer examples. The first column labeled name of polymer has entries D N A, cellulose, nylon, hair. The second column titled source of polymer has entries inside of cells, plant material, synthetic material, animal material.
