question 2 (2.5 points)

Explanation:

Question 1

• Phag/o relates to eating/engulfing (e.g., phagocyte).
• Lymph/o relates to lymph (fluid, nodes).
• Sarc/o relates to flesh (e.g., sarcoma, connective tissue tumor).
• Immun/o means immune (relating to protection/safety, as immune system safeguards). So Immun/o means safe (in context of protection).

• Carcinoma is a malignant tumor of epithelial tissue (cells lining organs, skin).
• Lymphoma is a cancer of lymphatic tissue (lymph nodes, etc.), not epithelial. So Carcinoma is the term for malignant epithelial tumor.

D. Immun/o (assuming options are labeled A - D as Phag/o, Lymph/o, Sarc/o, Immun/o)
