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).

Answer:

The correct statement is - option B.

Explanation:

Unmyelinated axons are the axon that lacks the covering of scwann cells that form the myelin sheath which helps in the transfer or transmit the signals faster and more effectively in neurons. It acts as the insulating layer.

In absence of the myelin sheath, the action potential found everywhere along the length of the axon which leads to slow propagation than in myelinated axons.

Thus, the correct answer is - option B.
