Explanation:

• For the suffix question: In medical terminology, the suffix “-ase” is used to denote enzymes. For example, “alkalase” is an enzyme. The suffix “-ation” is related to a process (e.g., “activation”), “-zyme” is not the correct standard suffix for enzymes (though it might seem related conceptually), and “-logy” is related to the study of something (e.g., “biology”).
• For the “bolus” question: The term “bolus” in medical/biological context (e.g., in digestion, a food bolus) comes from the Greek word meaning “lump”. “Enzyme” is related to the suffix explanation above, “protein” is a macromolecule, and “chew” is an action (masticate) not the Greek root meaning for “bolus”.

Answer:

• For “Which suffix means 'enzyme'?”: -ase
• For “The term 'bolus' is Greek for ______.”: lump
