[1] Water always moves from areas of lower salt concentration to areas of higher salt concentration. [2] In a way, it's like the chemical process of transpiration in a plant. Water's pulled up from the roots, in liquid form. It passes out, in vaporized form, through openings ka stomata in leaves. [3] It's the same with slugs. The liquid in their bodies crosses out into the higher salt concentrations in the air and on the dehydrating slug's body, as water vapor.

How is salt an effective means to control slugs?
Putting salt on a slug completely dehydrates and kills the slug
Whats 2 examples of chemical energy?
(more than two) Chemical Energy Examples: Digestive process, batterys, photosynthesis, burning gasoline, burning wood, using TNT, fire works, putting salt on a slug, alchohol, fermintation, rusting. (all of those answers where aproved by my physical science teacher)
What are the examples of chemical energy?
Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or to transform other chemical substances. Examples of chemical energy are: the digestive process, batteries, photosynthesis, burning gasoline, burning wood, using TNT, fire works, putting salt on a slug, alcohol, fermentation, and rusting.
Why do slugs die when you put salt on them osmosis?
The salt leaches the fluids out of the slug, due to osmosis. The slug then dies of dehydration.
How do you feed a slug?
put the food ( mostly any fruit, vegtable, and dandelions) in the slug's cage and the slug will approach it and eat it.
How do you get a slug off your skin?
put salt on it
How do you kill a slug cruelly?
Pour salt on it
If you have a salt water slug what do you feed it?
Other salt water slugs.... They are cannibals
When you add salt to a slug why is it potentially deadly to the slug?
It's all caused by the principle of osmosis. Osmosis says that the concentration of minerals inside and outside of a membrane must be the same. When a watery slug cell comes into contact with pure salt, water seeps out of it to dilute the salt to the same concentration as in the cell, thereby draining all the cells and killing the slug.
What is the worst food to feed snails?
Slug pellets or salt.
What is a railguns highest amount of kinetic energy?
The slug can reach a velocity of Mach 7, so the amount of kinetic energy depends on the mass of the slug.
Can a slug with salt kill a marigold?
salt will kill slugs but leaves a nasty mess to clear up
