What does the prefix 'hypo-' suggest about a quantity?

  1. Too much

  2. Under, lacking

  3. Outside

  4. Back

The correct answer is: Under, lacking

The prefix 'hypo-' indicates a state of being under or lacking in comparison to a standard or expected level. In medical and scientific terminology, it's often used to describe conditions where there is a deficiency or lower concentration of something. For example, 'hypoglycemia' refers to lower than normal blood sugar levels. This prefix effectively conveys a sense of being beneath a normative threshold, making it clear that something is less than what is typically required or expected.
