"Monosaccharide" is a category of chemical compounds, not a specific compound. Monosaccharides in general are not nucleic acids, though nucleic acids do contain one of two specific monosaccharides (ribose or deoxyribose).

∙ 14y agoYes. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of disaccharides (two monosaccharides) and polysaccharides (more than two monosaccharides). It is easy to remember because the prefix mono- means one and that is the same as the mono- in monomer. The prefix poly- means many and di- means two.
