Two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane that is permeable only to water.  The two solutions are:  Solution A = 150 mM KCl  Solution B = 150 mM Angiotensin (a 7 amino acid polypeptide)  Which of the following would best explain the net movement in this situation? - water will move from the KCl side to Angiotensin side - water will move from Angiotensin side to KCl side - The Cl- ion will move to the angiotensin side until there is 75 mM Cl- on each side - Since Angiotensin is not an ion, it can move through the membrane - There is no net water movement as the concentrations are the same on both sides

Question

Two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane that is permeable only to water.  The two solutions are: 

Solution A = 150 mM KCl 
Solution B = 150 mM Angiotensin (a 7 amino acid polypeptide) 

Which of the following would best explain the net movement in this situation?

- water will move from the KCl side to Angiotensin side
- water will move from Angiotensin side to KCl side
- The Cl- ion will move to the angiotensin side until there is 75 mM Cl- on each side
- Since Angiotensin is not an ion, it can move through the membrane
- There is no net water movement as the concentrations are the same on both sides
