Answer:

A slug would shrink and die if you were to sprinkle salt on in because it would cause water to leave the cells of the slug through the aquaporins in the cell membrane. This is because through osmosis water balances itself with the solute to reach equillibrium. When you pour salt on the slug you are making the outside a hypertonic solution that is going to draw out the water in the slug's cells.

Ganezh [65]
External respiration (correct answer) involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the environment.

The exchange of wastes through the skin is just called excretion by sweating. 

There is no exchange of nutrients that occur in the lungs but rather absorption of nutrients is the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the cell is called cellular respiration and involves carrying oxygen from the blood to the cell then the cell uses it as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The metabolic wastes of the cell, primarily carbon dioxide, goes now to the bloodstream to be exchanged for oxygen in the lungs.
