Natural polymers. Polymers are very common in nature; some of the most widespread naturally occurring substances are polymers. Starch and cellulose are examples. Green plants have the ability to take the simple sugar known as glucose and make very long chains containing many glucose units.atural polymers.

Naturally-Occurring and Synthetic Elements. Elements 1 through 92 (except for elements 43 and 61) occur naturally on Earth, although some are only present in extremely small quantities. Element 43, Technetium (Tc), is unstable, and all of its isotopes have relatively short half-lives, ranging from 4.2 million years (98Tc) to 5.0 seconds (108Tc).
