<prompt> The conjugation of bilirubin to glucuronic acid in the liverConves a hydrophilic compound to a hydrophobic oneConves a hydrophobic compound to a hydrophilic oneEnables the bilirubin molecule to cross the cell membraneIs increased during neonatal jaundice  <response>: In liver bilirubin which is a hydrophobic compound is conjugated with glucuronic acid, to make it water soluble. The fuher transpo of bilirubin into bile is an active process Only unconjugated bilirubin elevates in neonatalhemolytic jaundiceRef: Textbook of biochemistry for medical students, seventh edition, page no: 277
