What are members of the mollusk family?
There are many different types of molluscs but the major divisions are the bivalves (clams, oysters, mussels), the gastropods (snails, slugs, nudibranchs) and the cephalopods (octopus, squids, cuttlefish). And actually, there are a number of more obscure groups, such as the chitons, and a few other more obscure groups that contain worm like creatures, and more primitive mollusc like animals, such as the tusk shells. We know that these more obscure molluscs are part of the same group, because they have the same larvae, and some of the same adult features of more commonly known molluscs.

Salt cannot bring a fly back to life, it kills slugs because salt absorbs the water and dries them up. Salt cannot bring a fly back to life. It can revive it from a sleep which naturally occurs when the fly is faced with overwhelming pain though. Salt has certain properties which makes it draw moisture from things around it. As a slug has a very high percentage of water in its body, it is easy for salt to draw the water from the slug, causing its osmolarity rate to slow and it will become severly dehydrated and shrivel up, a waterless shell.
