The condition known as jaundice (yellow skin and eyes) is a result of a build-up of bilirubin and is usually a sign of liver mal

function. Newborn human infants often go through a period of fetal jaundice in which they turn yellow. This usually reflects not a liver malfunction, but rather the destruction of huge numbers of red blood cells. Why would newborns be cashing in so many red blood cells? In serious cases, neonates are often put under special lights that promote the breakdown of bilirubin. However, recent evidence demonstrates that bilirubin is a potent anti-oxidant. Why would a neonate need so many anti-oxidants?

Answer:

Why would newborns be cashing in so many red blood cells?

The possibe sources for the hematocrit are influx of RBC from other sources to the Fetus. e.g.,  leakage of RBC from the twin child in case of twin pregnancy, possible overproduction of RBC in the fetus,Leakage of some RBC through the umbilical cord  to the child close to delivery.

Why would noenates need so much antioxidants

The increased oxidative stress in neonates with Jaundice, leads to loss of antioxidants and ascorbic acids.The loses disrupted their metabolism and  therefore the natural ability to fight the oxidative stress.

Consequently,increase in the oxidative stress couple with lack of antioxidant leads to neural cell death.

Therefore, antioxodant is needed to prevent neural cell death and to withstand oxidative stress.

How many atp molecules are added to get glycolysis started
romanna [79]

Answer:

2 ATP

Explanation:

2 ATP is required to get the glycolysis started. The glycolysis process is divided into two parts, the first part is called the preparatory phase in which energy is required and the second part is called the payoff phase in which energy is produced.

During the first phase in the first step during the conversion of glucose to glucose six phosphate one ATP is consumed and in the third step during the conversion of fructose 6 phosphate to fructose 1,6 biphosphate one more ATP is consumed and in the second phase, 4 ATP is produced.

Therefore the net gain is 2 ATP because 2 ATP are added to get glycolysis started.

Hello LonelyPerson, to answer your question.
The Galápagos were officially annexed by Ecuador in February 12 1832 and were named "Archipelago del Ecuador.". It is still today officially a province of Ecuador.
