latex, dna, and cellulose are all examples of
a) monomers.
b) natural polymers.
c) natural monomers.
d) synthetic polymers.

Explanation:

• Monomers are single units that form polymers, so A and C are incorrect (Latex, DNA, cellulose are not monomers).
• Synthetic polymers are man - made, while latex (from plants), DNA (in living organisms), and cellulose (in plants) are naturally occurring. So D is incorrect.
• Latex, DNA, and cellulose are all polymers that exist in nature, so they are natural polymers.

Answer:

B) natural polymers.
