1) I forgot to water my plant and it was all wilted. I watered the soil that the plant was planted in and within an hour it looked all healthy again. Consider that the roots of the plant are made up of cells with a membrane. Explain why the plant went from looking all wilted to looking all healthy (not wilted) after I watered it

2) a. Some slug and snail baits are high in salt content. When used according to the package directions they result in the death of slugs that come into contact with the bait. Based on what you learned in this experiment, explain how the slugs and snails die.

3) 5. There is a big push by organic (grocery store organic) companies to get you to purchase organic foods. In this sense, organic means without the use of traditional pesticides and herbicides being used on the food. Using what you have learned about diffusion, why does it matter if a pesticide is sprayed on the OUTSIDE of the apple you are eating? Why doesn’t washing the apple remove the pesticide?
