Construct a Concept Map of Lipoprotein Metabolism using
the terms below. Complete on an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper (ONLY ONE
SIDE!).

Organize the terms so that their relationships are indicated.
You may add terms as needed and/or use some of the terms multiple
times (the same term may show up in multiple cell types or
locations – that is appropriate!).

Draw lines between the terms and add action phrases to the lines
to indicate how the terms are related.

Generate 4 boxes or enclosed sections that represent
the adipocyte, enterocyte, hepatocyte, and myocyte
(please be sure to label these). Also illustrate two separate
regions or boxes that represent the intestinal lumen (to show
digestion) and blood/circulation (to show trafficking of
lipoproteins). As stated above, terms may be used multiple
times.
