Does Europe use 20A branch circuits?
no
Why are kitchens and bathrooms required to be on seperate 20-amp receptacle branch circuits?
In today's homes, electrical appliances abound in the kitchen and bath, so you need different circuits if you want to be able to run things at the same time. For instance, your 1500 watt hair dryer is 12.5 amps (at 120 volts) and your toaster over might be another 1500 watts, meaning you'd overload a 20-A circuit if both were in use at the same time on the same circuit.
What is a load side of the panel?
It is where the black wires are connected for branch circuits.
What type of circuits have loads are on separate branches?
parallel circuitsThey could be called twin-loop circuits but it isn't a term in common use.

It depends on many factors such as minimum balance, availability of branch or ATM, what type of facilities required by the bank etc..
Explain why most homes have parallel circuits rather than series circuits?
For any electrical appliance (lamps, washing machines, etc.) to operate at their rated power, they must be subject to their rated voltage. This is why both values are shown on their 'nameplates' -e.g. for a lamp: '60 W / 230 V', etc.As each branch of a parallel circuit is subject to the same (supply) voltage, by connecting all the appliances in a home in parallel with the supply, each appliance will also be subject to their rated voltage. This is the primary reason for connecting appliances in parallel.A secondary reason is that, if appliances were to be connected in series, and one appliance stops working, then it will disconnect all the other appliances in the home!
