Solution

The statement "They commonly consist of calcium" is not true for resorbable polymers. Resorbable polymers are typically made up of lactic acid, glycolic acid, or caprolactone, not calcium. They are designed to degrade over time within the body, often used in medical applications such as sutures or implantable devices. They can indeed be a chain of monomers (which is what a polymer is) and some can be thermosetting plastics, which are plastics that undergo a chemical reaction when heated and become irreversibly hard.
