Are radioactive isotopes are used in medicines or power plants and tracers true of false?
true
Do radioactive isotopes are used in medicine power plants and as tracers?
Yes, radioactive isotopes are used in medicine for diagnostic imaging and cancer treatment, in power plants for generating electricity through nuclear fission reactions, and as tracers in industries to track the movement of substances in various processes.
How are radioactive tracers used in science?
Radioactive tracers are used in science to track the movement of molecules in biological systems. By incorporating a radioactive isotope into a molecule, scientists can follow its distribution and transformations within living organisms or chemical reactions. This technique is valuable for studying metabolic pathways, identifying diseases, and investigating physiological processes.
Why is gamma used for a radioactive tracer?
Isotopes are used as tracers in many medical settings. Radioactive isotopes are used to identify abnormal bodily processes. The isotopes can also be used in plants to measure the amount of radioactivity in the leaves.
Explain the process of translocation of food in plants?
All plants need water. The wilted leaves recover when water is added to the soil, which means that water has been conducted upward into the leaves. You have also learnt that the leaves for photosynthesis need water. Likewise, the food produced in the leaves has to be transported to other parts of the plant including the stem, the roots flowers and fruits etc. All this transportation is the function of conducting tissues.
By what process can plants get water from soil and bring it back to the leaves?
absorption and translocation
What plants have radioactive waste?
All plants have radioactive waste, especially fossil fuel plants.

Is rabbit feces radioactive?
No. There is no reason why rabbit feces should be radioactive, unless of course they ate something radioactive or they are under medical care using radioactive isotopes. It might be possible that if the soil is radioactive, and the plants become radioactive, that a rabbit might excrete radioactive feces from eating the plants.
What is a radioactive tracer and give an example of how one might be used?
A radioactive tracer is a radioactive atom inserted in a compound to see what happens to it in a reaction, usually in biotechnology. For example, to find out where carbon atoms go in photosynthesis, scientists can give the plants carbon dioxide with carbon-14 instead of carbon-12 and track the progress of the carbon-14.
Why is food sometimes radioactive?
the soil can get radioactive poisining. The plants can then use that soil and absorb the radioactive chemical. It the is in our food and that is that
