Explanation:

Since scientific terms are harder to understand, some common prefixes (word added to beginning of another) , suffixes (word added at the end) and root words can be used to correctly guess the meaning of a biological term. Most of the terms have been derived from ancient Greek and Roman words.

The prefix omni- means all. E.g, an omnivore is a type of animal that eats both plants and animals.
Prim- is a prefix that means first or foremost. In some cases, it also means basic or fundamental. E.g the primal instincts of any animal are its basic and innate characteristics.
Vor is a suffix that mean eat or devour. E.g, carnivore is an animal that eats meat.
Oligo is a prefix that means few or little. E.g, oligosaccharide is a carbohydrate containing few sugar molecules.
The prefix sub- means both under and below. E.g, subcutaneous means under the layer of the skin.
The prefix sub- means both under and below. E.g, subcutaneous means under the layer of the skin.
The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
The prefix hydro means water. E.g, hydroelectric power is energy derived from water.
