Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracers are typically used in biological research to monitor biochemical reactions. They are labeled with a detectable trace, such as radioactive isotopes or fluorescent dyes, allowing researchers to track the movement and activity of molecules within a system. While some tracers may be used in small amounts within plants, this is not a defining characteristic of all tracers. Tracers do not necessarily need to be inert, and while they should have a stable nucleus, they do not necessarily need to have an unbalanced electrical charge.
