Free bilirubin travels from the sinusoids in the plasma into the hepatocytes of the liver, where it is changed into conjugated bilirubin.

How does free bilirubin convert into conjugated bilirubin?

The liver's uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP) converts unconjugated bilirubin into conjugated bilirubin by attaching it to glucuronide. After that, bile excretes conjugated bilirubin.

How does bilirubin produce and leave the body?

  • Red blood cells break down, leaving behind bilirubin as a waste product. The liver is where bilirubin is processed since it is the byproduct of heme metabolism.
  • Heme, biliverdin, and unconjugated bilirubin are all products of the breakdown of hemoglobin into its component parts. Unconjugated bilirubin binds to serum proteins in the blood, most often albumin. The liver then absorbs the unconjugated bilirubin.

Chemical weathering in bedrock below the land surface often begins along joints and sheeting fractures. True False
gregori [183]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Chemical weathering usually refers to the process in which the water comprising various chemicals reacts on the rocks and disintegrates them. The chemical weathering process occurs both at and below the surface of the land. At various depths, the rocks are comprised of cracks and fractures, which are filled up with water comprising the chemicals. This water reaching these joints and fractures are percolated from the surface. These chemicals comprising water start reacting with the rocks and eventually expands the cracks and joints.

For example, in the region where there is abundant carbonate rocks, these chemical comprising water (such as acid water) when enters, it reacts with the rocks and dissolves them, and thereby give rise to the formation of caves and sinkholes.

Thus, the above-given statement is true.
