Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: Lip/o means fat and -oma means a growth; hence, lipoma means fatty growth. Lip/o means fat and -ectomy means surgical removal; therefore, lipectomy means surgical removal of fat. Adip/o means fat and -osis means abnormal condition; thus, adiposis means abnormal condition of fat. Adip/o means fat and -pathy means disease, so adipopathy means fat disease.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
