Insulin is a protein, so yes it is a polymer of amino acids, also called a polypeptide chain
Yes. All proteins are polar.
polymer
It is a polymer which has special properties such as a memory shape polymer.
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids

Insulin is a protein
polymer
Generally it is considered that Inulin is the polymer of fructose. Beta 1,2 linked. Hence it is not digested in pur body. It if often considered as heteropolymer because it contains two types of stereo isomers of fructose.
Insulin and glucagon. Insulin stores simple sugars in the form of a polymer (glycogen) in the liver and glucagon breaks down glycogen in the liver forming glucose and releases it back into the bloodstream. ChaCha!
Normal human livers are highly sensitive to insulin. Hepatocytes, or liver cells, have numerous insulin receptors on their surfaces which bind to insulin and then trigger glycogen synthesis, soaking up free glucose in the bloodstream and forming long polymer chains for later use as fuel. Studies have shown, however, that diabetic individuals have decreased sensitivity to insulin not only generally but also specifically in the liver, due partly to a decrease in the number of insulin receptors.
Short sequence of amino acids. Insulin is a polypeptide of about 53 [amino-acid] residues; it is like Pluto - is it a protein or not?
