Yes. Nucleic acids are long polymers of
nucleotides that are made up of a sugar, a
base, and a phosphate group. The
components of nucleotides could be used as
nutrients.
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
Rna's and Dna's
ribonucleic acids RNA and deoxyribonucleic acid DNA
Two basic types of nucleic acids are ribonucleic acid (also referred to as RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (also referred to as DNA)
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids
These will be broken down into the basic nutrients needed: proteins, fats and carbohydrates. These simple products are further broken down to form the very basic units called amino acids, sugars, fatty acids and lipids. All things the body need can be built from these basic units.
In addition to the basic nucleotides found in food, your body needs essential nutrients such as vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid, as well as minerals like magnesium and zinc to support the synthesis of new nucleic acids. These nutrients play vital roles in processes such as DNA replication and repair.
No because they are in their basic unit. Proteins have to be broken down into basic units (proteins broken down to amino acids)

An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
