Chapter 19, Problem 21RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Bilirubin is the waste product of heme. The heme unit is first converted into the biliverdin; this compound is converted into bilirubin and released into the blood stream which is secreted via bile.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is toxic to humans because it:
