# Notes on Polymers The image appears to be notes on different types of polymers. Here's a summary of the information: ## Polymer 2: Phospholipid * **Description:** A diagram shows a phospholipid with a phosphate group and two fatty acid tails. * **Function:** The notes suggest a role in cell membranes (keeping them intact). ## Polymer 3: Steroid * **Description:** The note implies a specific type of steroid. * **Function:** Hormone signaling molecule. * **Details:** The notes mention cholesterol as a steroid and describe it as sturdy and being embedded in cell membranes. ## Proteins * **Components:** The notes indicates the elements that make up proteins are C, H, O, and N. * **Function:** The main functions listed are physical structure support and enzyme function. ## Nucleic Acids * **Components:** The notes say that nucleic acids are composed of C, H, O, N, and P. * **Function:** The function of nucleic acids is storing and transmitting genetic information. * **Monomer:** The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. (Implied). **Note:** The image includes diagrams that may be intended to show the structure of these polymers, but as this is from an image, there is no way to interpret these chemical structures at this time.
