Biopolymers are naturally occurring polymers that are produced by living organisms. They are made up of repeating units called monomers, which are linked together through covalent bonds. Biopolymers can be categorized into three main types: 1. **Proteins**: Composed of amino acid monomers, proteins serve various functions in living organisms, including structural roles (e.g., collagen in connective tissues), enzymatic activity (catalyzing biochemical reactions), and signaling (e.g.
