Jiskha doesn't have a regular biology tutor, so I suggest you post these questions and your answers in this forum.
http://www.biology-online.org/biology-forum/
It would be easier to check if you only put 4 or 5 questions and their answers in each post.
5. A
9. B
14. No Idea
17. I would go with B, but I am not 100% sure.
19. C
Thanks!
