RadioCarbon In Biology

RadioCarbon is used as a "tracer" to study various complex biological processes. In such research, scientists substitute a Radiocarbon atom , for an atom of a carbon molecule.Then they use a Radiation ocunter to trace the path of the Radiocarbon atom through a chemical reaction in an organism.

the Radiocarbon used as a tracer is produced artificially in nuclear reactors.Artificial radiocarbon was first discovered in 1939 by two American chemists , Martin D. Kamen and Samuel Ruben.
