A protein is a chain of amino acids. Polymers are a series of repeated single units, or monomers. In this particular case, amino acid is the monomer and as a chain, it forms protein. Simple enough?

Why proteins are called as polymers?

Proteins aren't called polymers, the polymers OF proteins are amino acids. Basically, amino acids coming together (creating polymers with the help of polypeptide bonds which forms them together) creates the polymers, which set up to create proteins.


What are the polymers found in protein?

Proteins are polymers. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.


Proteins are examples of natural polymers?

Yes, that is correct. Proteins are natural polymers.


Are carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids and proteins are they polymers?

Carbohydrates and proteins are indeed considered polymers because they are composed of repeating subunits: carbohydrates consist of sugar monomers, while proteins are made up of amino acid monomers. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are also polymers formed from nucleotide subunits. However, lipids are not classified as polymers; they are a diverse group of molecules that do not consist of repeating monomeric units.
