Assume that a membrane that is permeable to Na⁺ but not to Cl^- separates two solutions.The concentration of sodium chloride on side 1 is much higher than on side 2.Which of these ionic movements will take place A)Na⁺ will move until its concentration gradient is dissipated (i.e., until the concentration of Na⁺ on side 2 is the same as the concentration of Na⁺ on side 1). B)Cl^- will move down its concentration gradient from side 1 to side 2. C)A membrane potential, negative on side 1, will develop. D)A membrane potential, positive on side 1, will develop.
