For example, in slugs, there is no barrier between their cell walls and the outside of them. So, when salt is poured on a slug, its body attempts to maintain equilibrium and the water is drawn out of the slugs body causing it to dry up and die. Diffusion is when the molecules in a cell are moving from a highly concentrated place to a low concentrated place. In for example, in air diffusers, the concentrated scent will release into the lowly concentrated air resulting in the air smelling nice. The process of plasmolysis is when the cell is losing water in a hypertonic solution. A hypertonic solution is when there is a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell. When referring to plant cells, turgid is when there is a high concentration inside the cell, and places in a more dilute environment known as a hypotonic solution. Meaning that hypotonic means when there is a greater concentration inside the cell when compared to the outside. Lastly, an isotonic solution is when equilibrium is achieved and the concentration, or lack thereof, is equal inside and outside of the
