The time signature with the bottom figure 16 implies that the semiquaver is the unit beat. For example, 3/16 implies that there are three semiquavers in a measure. In compound times, the unit beat is dotted quaver.
This time signature provides four 16th notes (semiquavers) in a measure. That is itself one quarter note from value.
Yes, a time signature can indicate that there are quarter note beats per measure. For example, in a 4/4 time signature, there are four beats per measure, and each beat is a quarter note. Similarly, a 3/4 time signature has three quarter note beats per measure. In both cases, the quarter note serves as the basic unit of time for the rhythm.
The bottom note of a time signature determines the value of a beat. For example in 3/4 time (4 at the bottom:quarter note beats), a quarter note takes one beat. In 3/2 time (2 at bottom:half note beats), a quarter note takes half a beat.

It really depends on your time signature (that is what defines a beat as). In terms of the most common time signature 4/4, the note that has a rhythmic value of three beats is called a dotted half note.
This time signature provides four 16th notes (semiquavers) in a measure. That is itself one quarter note from value.
In a 6/8 time signature, the dotted quarter note gets the beat.
Yes, a time signature can indicate that there are quarter note beats per measure. For example, in a 4/4 time signature, there are four beats per measure, and each beat is a quarter note. Similarly, a 3/4 time signature has three quarter note beats per measure. In both cases, the quarter note serves as the basic unit of time for the rhythm.
It depends what the time signature is; if the time signature is 4/4 then a note worth half a beat would be an eighth-note. If the time signature is in say 6/8, then half a beat would be a sixteenth-note. Usually music is in quarter beats, so most probably an eighth-note for you.
The bottom note of a time signature determines the value of a beat. For example in 3/4 time (4 at the bottom:quarter note beats), a quarter note takes one beat. In 3/2 time (2 at bottom:half note beats), a quarter note takes half a beat.
quarter note
A minim, since 2 2 is a simple duple time signature.
The bottom number in a time signature indicates the type of note that receives one beat in the music.
It really depends on your time signature (that is what defines a beat as). In terms of the most common time signature 4/4, the note that has a rhythmic value of three beats is called a dotted half note.
To properly notate a dotted eighth note in 6/8 time signature, you would write it as a single eighth note followed by a dot. This means the note is held for three sixteenth note beats in total.
...is a half note when, in the time signature, the quarter note = 1 beat (any time signature/4). In any time/8, it would be a quarter note. Etc, etc...
The set of names regarding fractions are derived from the fraction it takes in the common time signature, 4/4. A semiquaver takes 1/16 from such a measure. Therefore it is also known as sixteenth note.
