Answer:

A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids.

RNA and DNA are polymers made of long chains of nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.

g. specialized cell of the immune system  - 8. lymphocytes

h. large phagocytic cells of the immune system  - 6. macrophages

i. fat cells  - 3. adipocytes

Explanation:

Almost all of these cells have one thing in common: they are part of the connective tissues in our body. Connective tissue can be <u>divided into two</u>: proper connective tissue (that can be loose or dense) and specialized connective tissue (in this category, for example, we can find blood tissue, adipose tissue, bone tissue, and cartilage tissue).

Cells in our bodies have very different but important functions and they partake in their tasks because of the specific tissue or organ where they are at. While <u>blood tissue has cells that specialize in gas transport and immune response</u>, the <u>connective tissue has cells that synthesize and maintain the matrix and also specialized immune cells as well</u>. Microphages, macrophages and lymphocytes can be found both in the blood tissue and the connective tissue as well, as they migrate from the bloodstream to the tissue where they are needed to perform immunity tasks. Also in the connective tissue, we can find other cells that participate in the immune response, like the mast cells that release histamine to produce inflammation.
