Answer: Carbon 12 and Carbon 13

In plant, the ratio of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes is different depending upon the plant photosynthesis. The distribution of these isotopes in plant tissue can indicate the path way of carbon metabolism that is either C3 fixation or C4 fixation. This help scientist to know if the plant consumed by organism is C3 plant or C4 plant by measuring the isotopic signature of their collagen and other tissues.

This can help scientist know which plant is consumed by animals.

What type of container is best for protecting the riboflavin content of milk
Arisa [49]

Answer: Cardboard containers are best for protecting the riboflavin content of milk.

Riboflavin or vitamin B2 acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide. The riboflavin is destroyed by irradiations and ultraviolet rays and therefore the milk is sold in opaque containers which are stable to heat. The tetra pack used now days is made up of cardboard and best suitable for using as a container to protect the riboflavin content of the milk.
