What is the purpose of radioactive isotope?
to study the biochemical reaction, radio active isotopes aids as a labelling agent! it is widely used to study the metabolism.
How is an isotope used in medicine?
Certain radioactive isotopes have an affinity or liking for certain body cells. Thus iodide given to a patient will bunch up and help machines "visualize" the thyroid so that a gland expert doctor can determine if there is something wrong. A drink called "Go Litely" can help doctors "see" what might be wrong with an intestinal tract. Merely diagnostic or fact-finding.
How is Physiology?
Study of metabolic activities in plants and animals is called physiology
How a radioactive marker work?
A radioactive marker is a radioactive isotope who "labelled" a compound, used for the study of a chemical reaction, a physiological process, an industrial process, geochemical and hydrochemical phenomenons and many others.
What kind of science is Marie Curie's specialty?
Radiology. The study of radium and radioactive elements
Uses of radioactive elements in field of agriculture?
Isotopes are being used in agriculture for soil management as a fertilizer .Use of the isotopes can advance the agriculture output and also minimize the amount of nitrous oxide and methane discharge...by : Diane,student of B.I.

What is histologist studies?
histology is the study of liver. as it is obvious that as histology is a study of liver a histologist studies the various aspects of the liver such as the metabolic pathways during normal and during diseased conditions.

Do all elements decay over time?
It is the unstable isotopes of elements that decay over time. All elements have an isotope or isotopes that are unstable and will decay over time. (These isotopes will be either naturally occurring or will be synthetic.) Some isotopes of some elements, however, are stable, and they will not undergo radioactive decay.To discover what's what, we have to do some homework, and what better place to start than the table of nuclides? It lists all the elemets, and all the isotopes of each element. Further, it tells us which ones are stable, which are unstable, and will also help us determine the decay mode of the unstable nuclides.
What is metablomic?
I am assuming you mean metabolomics, which is the study of the many metabolic pathways that are present throughout biological organisms. It is a fairly complex field of science and involves many techniques and a large amount of analytical chemistry. A metabolic pathway involves catabolism (breaking down of molecules) and anabolism (synthesis of molecules) and the combination of these two is what is studied in metabolomics. Hope this helps

What does a radiochemist study?
studies radioactive chemistry
What radioactive material did Marie Curie study?
radium
What is the job for radiology?
the study of radioactive elements ,its properties and so on
How is Physiology?
Study of metabolic activities in plants and animals is called physiology
What does biochemical characteristics studied?
Biochemical characteristics study the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. This can include the study of metabolic pathways, enzyme function, cellular components, and the role of molecules like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids in biological processes. These studies help to understand how organisms function at a molecular level and can provide insights into diseases and potential treatments.
