[IB Biology at GHS: Review of Cells]

23. A slug is placed into water that is 5% salt. How will water move in relation to the slug's cells?

A) Water will move into the slug until an equilibrium is reached.

B) Water will move out of the slug until an equilibrium is reached. (Because 5% salt = 95% water while 3% salt = 97% water. There is more water inside the slug, so water moves outwards by diffusion.)

C) Water will move into and out of the slug equally.
