Natural polymers include the RNA and DNA that are so important in genes and life processes. In fact, messenger RNA is what makes possible proteins, peptides, and enzymes. Enzymes help do the chemistry inside living organisms and peptides make up some of the more interesting structural components of skin, hair, and even the horns of rhinos. Other natural polymers include polysaccharides (sugar polymers) and polypeptides like silk, keratin, and hair. Natural rubber is, naturally a natural polymer also, made from just carbon and hydrogen. Let's look at each of the main families of natural polymers closely

Celluose, starch, collagen, even proteins are all natural polymers. Proteins/enzymes are termed as macromolecules and not as polymers because of sheer complexity and surprisingly ordered superstructure. most fo the things associates with life is polymeric.
