For example thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, natural and synthetic polymers.
polymers are classified into 5 types as follows: A))based on synthesis: 1)addition polymers 2)condensation polymers B))based on inter molecular forces: 1)fibers 2)elastromers 3)thermoplastics 4)thermosettings C))from source 1)natural polymers 2)synthetic polymers D))based on material 1)organic polymer 2)inorganic polymer E))based on structure 1)linear polymer 2)branched polymer 3)cross linked polymer F))based on the monomer 1)homo polymer 2)hetero polymer
A polyamide is the type of compound that would be classified as a polymer. Specifically, it is a polymer containing monomers of amides which are joined by peptide bonds. Natural examples are proteins and artificial examples are nylons.
No, melanin is not classified as a polymer. It is a complex biopolymer derived from the oxidation of the amino acid tyrosine, forming a heterogeneous group of pigments. While it has polymer-like characteristics due to its large, complex structure, it does not fit the traditional definition of a polymer, which is typically a long chain of repeating units. Melanin's unique structure contributes to its diverse functions in biological systems, such as photoprotection and coloration.
Plastic is a type of material known as a polymer, which is a nonmetal in terms of its composition. It is not classified as a metal or a metalloid (semimetal).
Cellulose is classified as a polysaccharide, which is a type of carbohydrate composed of multiple sugar molecules. It is a linear polymer composed of repeating glucose units linked together by beta-glycosidic bonds.

A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids
A phospholipid is not a polymer.
