cata- is movement downwards; figurateively, wrong or inferior. It comes from the Greek kata- which means down.
magn-, think about this one: magnify - to make larger, Magna Carta - the great Charter. Magnus in latin means large great, it derives from this. (so it means large or great)
I can't say I know of a suffix of "-cede", are you sure its not -cide which would be killing or murder (suicide, genocide)
"-celer": celerime in latin means most quickly, so I would assume it means quickly, or with speed. "-cele" and other variations can also mean swelling, but I doubt you'd get that in your English homework

Here we go;
-cede: surrender something: to surrender or give up something, for example land, rights, or power, to another country, group, or person
cata-:down, apart
catabolism
catalysis
-celer: "cele" tumour, swelling
varicocele
magn-: couldnt find
hope these help!
