Consider the artificial cell experiment below: Lactose 2.0 M Ca+ = 0.4 M Lactose = 0.1 M Ca+ = 3.0 M The ion channels in the membrane will allow Ca+ to pass freely, but nothing else. The starting conditions for the experiment are shown. Rewrite the following statement to make it correct: "The calcium ions will move across the membrane because ion channels allow active transport."

Question
**Artificial Cell Experiment Overview**

*Membrane and Ion Channels:*

- **Inside the Cell:**
  - Lactose concentration: 2.0 M
  - Calcium ion (Ca+) concentration: 0.4 M
- **Outside the Cell:**
  - Lactose concentration: 0.1 M
  - Calcium ion (Ca+) concentration: 3.0 M

The ion channels within the membrane are selectively permeable, allowing Ca+ ions to pass freely, but restricting all other substances.

*Objective:*

Rewrite the following statement for accuracy:

"The calcium ions will move across the membrane because ion channels allow active transport."

*Suggested Correction:*

"The calcium ions will move across the membrane through the ion channels via passive transport due to the concentration gradient."
