What is monosaccharide and polysaccharide?

A monosacharide is a "simple" sugar such as glucose or fructose. A polysaccharide is a polymer made by linking many monosacharides together. For example, glycogen is a polysaccharide; it is a polymer of glucose.

Why is DNA considered a polymer?

DNA is considered a polymer because it is made up of repeating units called nucleotides, which are linked together in a long chain. These nucleotides consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). The repetitive nature of these units forms a polymer structure.
