All of these must pass through the cell membrane. Transport may occur by diffusion and osmosis across the membrane. It can also occur when a vescicle attaches to the cell membrane from the inside and then opens to form a pocket, expelling its contents to the outside. This may be called exocytosis.ll of these must pass through the cell membrane. Transport may occur by diffusion and osmosis across the membrane.

Many enzymes that occur in certain tissues are found in blood plasma at higher levels when the cancer involves that tissue. Enzymes are usually measured by determining the rate at which they convert a substrate to an end product, while most tumor markers of other types are measured by a test called an immunoassay.
Temperature, pH and enzymes. The activity of enzymes is affected by temperature and pH pH: Scale of acidity/alkalinity. pH below 7 = acidic, pH above 7 = alkaline. Temperature and enzymes. As the temperature increases, so does the rate of reaction. But very high temperatures denature enzymes. The graph shows the typical change in an enzyme's activity with increasing temperature. The enzyme activity gradually increases with temperature up to around 37ÂºC, or body temperature. Then, as the temperature continues to rise, the rate of reaction falls rapidly as heat energy denatures the enzyme. Graph of enzyme activity against temperature pH and enzymes
