Explanation:

Response
1. the suffix in 'adenoma'
Brief Explanations

The suffix in "adenoma" is "-oma", which means "tumor" or "mass" (usually a benign tumor in medical terminology).

Brief Explanations

The prefix in "hypoglycemia" is "hypo-", which means "below", "under", or "deficient" (in this case, referring to low blood sugar levels as "hypo-" + "glyc" (sugar) + "emia" (blood condition)).

Brief Explanations

The root in "incision" is "cis" (from the Latin "cidere" meaning to cut), with the prefix "in-" (into) and suffix "-ion" (action/process). So the root "cis" relates to cutting.

Answer:

-oma (meaning tumor/mass)

2. the prefix in 'hypoglycemia'
