Answer 13

I found this "Protists are eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plant, animal or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some, like algae, are multicellular. Kelp, or 'seaweed' is a large multicellular protist that provides food, shelter and oxygen for numerous underwater ecosystems."

Answer 14

Look under the "images" part.
Then it should give you images of plants and animals.
