Answer: The following statements comparing respiration in fish and in mammals is correct:

The movement of the respiratory medium in mammals is bidirectional, but in fish it is unidirectional.

Explanation:

Breathing is the process by which living beings exchange gases with the external environment. It consists of the entry of oxygen into the body of a living being and the exit of carbon dioxide from it .

Active ventilation occurs if the animal produces the currents (of air or water) that flow to and from its respiratory membranes. It can be :

Unidirectional. (air or water is pumped onto the respiratory membrane in only one direction).
Bidirectional. (air or water is transported to the respiratory membrane and moves away from it through the same route like in the mammals).

All foods can be measured on the pH scale to determine if they have the right amount of acidity to support bacteria growth. 7.0

ZanzabumX [31]

In fact, there are bacteria that grow in all kinds of pH, from the most acidic to the bad alkaline. Depending on the pH at which they live, bacteria can be classified as neutrophil, acidophilic and alkalineophilic.

But in general, when we talk about bacteria that are present in foods, they tend to grow in a pH range between 5 and 9, so they are considered as neutrophil. This can vary by species and other factors such as temperature and available nutrients.

How does motion change

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The motion of an object is determined by the sum of the forces acting on it; if the total force on the object is not zero, its motion will change. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to achieve the same change in motion. For any given object, a larger force causes a larger change in motion.
