[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.

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.


What are the examples of chemical energy?

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 happens when you put salt on a frog?

Putting salt on a frog's skin can be harmful as it disrupts the frog's osmoregulation, causing dehydration. This can lead to serious health problems and even death for the frog. It is important to handle frogs with care and avoid exposing them to substances that can harm them.
