Synthetic polymers contain linkages which are present in natural polymers also , for example nylon (a synthetic polymer) contains pep-tide (also called amide) linkage and proteins also contain the same linkage .. considering that protein is a naturally occurring polymer
Btw , not sure if this is the only similarity .. :D
What else can I help you with?
Proteins are examples of natural polymers?
Yes, that is correct. Proteins are natural polymers.
Modified natural polymers for drug delivery?
modified natural polymers are natural polymers which are altered in order to suit a particular purposeModified natural polymers are natural polymers which are altered in order to suit a particular purpose. Modified natural polymers are natural polymers which are altered in order to suit a particular purpose.

What way are the amino acids in proteins and the nucleotides in DNA similar?
They are both polymers.
What are some examples of natural polymers and synthetic polymers?
Natural polymer: shellac, amber, natural rubber, cellulose Synthetic polymers: synthetic rubber, Bakelite, neoprene, nylon, PVC, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone, etc.
What is a whip for whipping horses in a race made of?
Traditionally made of cane but more recently of synthetics and polymers
Why are synthetic polymers often used in place of natural material?
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers. Natural polymers are also less plentiful.
How is cotton and synthetics different?
cotton is natural
Proteins are examples of natural polymers?
Yes, that is correct. Proteins are natural polymers.
Why do natural polymers not pose as much of an issue in landfills as synthetic polymers Natural polymers are cheap to recycle and synthetic polymers are expensive to recycle. Natural polymers are expe?
Natural polymers are biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by bacteria and other organisms in the environment. This process helps to reduce the amount of natural polymers going to landfills. Synthetic polymers, on the other hand, are not easily biodegradable and can persist in the environment for a long time, contributing to landfill waste issues.
What elements made up of fabric curtain?
typically carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and about a dozen others in smaller amounts depending on the exact fabric: natural fabrics are mostly either cellulose (sugar polymers, e.g. cotton, linen) or protein (amino acid polymers, e.g. wool, silk), synthetics are mostly hydrocarbon polymers (aka plastic fiber, e.g. nylon, orlon).
Modified natural polymers for drug delivery?

Modified natural polymers are natural polymers which are altered in order to suit a particular purpose.
How are natural polymers and synthetic polymers similar?
Rubber is a natural polymers with elastic and plastic type behavior. It is found in nature and extracted from trees. PET (soda bottles) Polyethylene Terephthalate is a synthetic polymer and not found in nature.
How is the polymer classified?
For example thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, natural and synthetic polymers.

What way are the amino acids in proteins and the nucleotides in DNA similar?
They are both polymers.
Are all polymers man made?
No, not all polymers are man-made. Some polymers can be found in nature, such as proteins, cellulose, and DNA. These natural polymers have unique properties and functions in living organisms.
