Are you new to this site? I doubt you will get many takers to help on an 18 question post. My suggestions:
1. Divide the biology questions and chemistry questions.
2. One question per post.
3. Give a try at explaining what you don't understand; try an answer and explain why you picked that answer; try eliminating certain answers.
