Anions are negatively charged particles. The water molecule is a polar molecule, that means that, it is partly positive and partly negative. The oxygen atoms in the water molecules are more electronegative more than the hydrogen atoms and they draw the shared electron nearer to themselves than the hydrogen atoms; this make them to be slightly negatively charged while the hydrogen atom is slightly positively charged.
Therefore in solution, the anions would be attracted toward the hydrogen atom that is slightly positive while the cations will be attracted to oxygen atom that is slightly negative.

The answer is False.

Although, there are some evidence that suggests that species from million years ago possessed both gills and lungs. For example is the Acanthostega Gunnari, one of the oldest species discovered with four limbs. The creature is a salamander-like creature found in Greenland hundreds of million years ago. Although the specie can walk on land but the finding characterized the creature primarily as a fish.
