you put salt on them or on the ground every where
Do slugs cry when salt is put on them?
Of course they do! How would you feel if you had salt put on you? You know how the wicked witch of the west cried when she had water poured on her... So you'd think a slug would cry a bit if he was being dried up and dying..
Why do slugs shrivel up when you put salt on them?
As with most non-ocean living animal and plant cells, salt applied externally creates a situation where the concentration of salt outside the cells is greater than that inside. Ions move into the cells and water then moves out to try and balance the difference to create an equalibrium. This loss of water within the cells causes them to shrivel up and die, furthermore causing the slug to die as well due to the lack of water.
Why do people put salt on leeches or slugs.what happens to the animals cells?
Slugs and leeches do not have an outer skin that holds water inside of them. Thus, they require a moist environment to avoid drying out. If you put salt on them, the salt pulls the water out of their cells and kills them.
What happens when the Paramecium gets close to the salt?
When a Paramecium gets close to salt, it will experience a process called osmosis. Salt has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the Paramecium, so water will move out of the Paramecium through osmosis to try to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the cell membrane. This loss of water can cause the Paramecium to shrink or even die if the salt concentration is too high.
What happens to plant cells when you put salt water on them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water, water moves out of the cells through osmosis, causing the cells to lose turgor pressure and shrink. This process is known as plasmolysis. Continued exposure to salt water can eventually lead to the death of the plant cells.
Can we use osmosis for desalinating water?
The process for desalinization is reverse osmosis. The salty fluid is put on the pressurized side of the semi-permeable membrane and the salt free water oozes to the low pressure side. The pressure overcomes the "osmotic pressure" noted in regular osmosis.
If you were to grill a steak would it be better to put salt on it before or after you cook it Explain in terms of osmosis?
It would be better to put salt on the steak so it can absorb it.A cooked steak has less water than an uncooked steak if you put salt on before you cook it, you will draw more water out.
Why do cell shrank when they are put in salt solution?
It's called osmosis. The salt concentrations inside and outside the cell will "try" to reach an equilibrium, and since the salt concentration outside the cell is higher, water will flow out of the cell, making it shrink.
