Outside the cell: extra-/-ar = extracellular ;

Between the cells: inter-/-ar = intercellular ;

Within the cell: intra-/-ar = intracellular ;

New growth: ne-/o/-plasm = neoplasm ;

Bone building (developing) cell: oste-/o/-blast = osteoblast ;

Bone destroying cell: oste-/o/-clast = osteoclast ;

A cartilage cell: chondr-/o/-cyte = chondrocyte

Well, I'm guessing you should have received or have access to a list of roots/suffixes from your teacher/professor that would be a better reference.



Otherwise, here are my best guesses for the last four:



Neoplasm (Neo- "new" / -plasm "formation")

Osteoblast (Oste- "bone" / -o- / -blast "building")

Osteoclast (Oste- "bone" / -o- / -clast "destroying")

Chondrocyte (Chondr- "cartilage" / -o- / -cyte "cell")



As for the between cells and within cells... are you sure it isn't prefix/root?
