Answer 14

mold!

Question 15

mycelia

Answer 15

large masses of mold, with long filaments called hyphae that lace together

Question 16

protozoa

Answer 16

unicellular eukaryotic microbes move via pseudopods, flagella, or cilia, can have many shapes, live free or as a parasite, asex/sex repro.

Question 17

algae

Answer 17

are photosynthetic eukaryotes with a variety of shapes, abundant in fresh, and salt water, soil, and with plants, cell wall common cellulose
