NSG 5003 ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND COMPLETE STUDY GUIDE 2026
▶ Endocytosis. Answer: cell internalizing process where section of plasma
membrane enfold substances outside cell, invaginates, & separates from
plasma membrane forming a vesicle inside the cell
▶ Pinocytosis. Answer: fluid & solute molecules ingested by forming small
vesicles
▶ Phagocytosis. Answer: large particles (ie. bacteria) ingested by forming
large vesicles (vacuoles)
▶ Cell Cycle. Answer: reproductive process that begins after interfase
▶ S Phase. Answer: DNA synthesis in cell nucleus
▶ G2 Phase. Answer: period between completion of DNA synthesis & M
phase
▶ M Phase. Answer: involves both nuclear (mitotic) & cytoplasmic
(cytokinetic) division
▶ G1 Phase. Answer: (growth/interphase) after which cycle begins again
▶ Epithelial Tissue. Answer: covers most internal/external surfaces;
functions as protection, absorption, secretion, & excretion
▶ Cells. Answer: Specialized through differentiation or maturation
▶ 8 Specialized Funcitons. Answer: movement, conductivity, metabolic
absorption, secretion, excretion, respiration, reproduction, communication
▶ Eukaryote Cells. Answer: have plasma membrane, cytoplasm,
intracellular organelles
