Neither, saccharide refers to carbohydrates.

are nucleic acids mono or poly?

Nucleic acids are linear polymers (chains) of nucleotides. See:



The exception to the monomer/polymer rule is lipids. Lipid base units are not considered monomers. One type of lipid or fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol molecules in a 3:1 ratio. The bonding of three fatty acids to one glycerol molecule creates a triglyceride.
Biology - The only science where multiplication and division mean the same thing.
