Radioisotopes can be used to help understand chemical and biological processes in plants, because:


They are stable and can be detected easily using a Geiger counter.

They are not harmful to the plants and animals they are used in.

They are used to trace the pathway of chemical reactions.

They are a natural byproduct of many biological processes.

Answer :

Radioisotopes can be used to help understand chemical and biological processes in plants. This is true for two reasons: 1) Radioisotopes are chemically identical with other isotopes of the same element and will be substituted in chemical reactions and 2) Radioactive forms of the element can be easily detected with a Geiger counter or other such device.
