NSG 5003 PRACTICE EXAM
QUESTIONS AND DETAILED
SOLUTIONS 2026
▶ Autophagy. Answer: degradation process where ell debris encapsulated
with in vesicle that reacts with lysosomes
▶ Cellular Metabolism. Answer: chemical task of maintaining cellular
function
▶ Anabolism. Answer: energy-using process
▶ Catabolism. Answer: energy-releasing process
▶ Osmotic Pressure. Answer: amount of hydrostatic pressure required to
oppose osmotic pressure
▶ Oncotic or Colloid Osmotic Pressure. Answer: overall effect of colloids
(ie. plasma proteins)
▶ 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
