Question
Chapter 41.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The effects on the distribution of water in an animal’s body if a blood vessel was damaged and leaked its content internally.
Introduction: Water is the main component in the bodies of animals. Many solutes ions such as Na+ and K+ are dissolved in the water content of the body. Water and ions maintain the homeostasis of the organism.

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
