Answer:

The correct answer is: isotopes.

Explanation:

<u>PET scan (positron emission energy) is an imaging technique that is used to help in the diagnosis of a disease by observing metabolic processes in the body.</u>

PET scans, although very expensive, are of great utility in the fields of Oncology, Neurology and Cardiology.

<u>Isotopes are atoms that share the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons. This gives the isotopes different properties than regular atoms.</u> In PET, isotopes are radiotracers used to discern the biologic pathway of any compound.

What is the relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage
4vir4ik [10]
The relationship between ionic bonds and cleavage is "as the ionic bond strength increases, cleavage will be more difficult". 
There are ionic bonds between the minerals that held them together. Ionic bonds are the consequence of electrostatic fascination and electron exchange amongst positive and negative particles (cations and anions). Ionic bonding infers the development of requested crystalline solids and the cleavage of those solids will rely upon the quality of this bonding.

Proteins are synthesized from ________ during synthesis reactions. nucleotides amino acids glycerol and fatty acids monosacchari
ANTONII [103]
I believe proteins are synthesized from amino acids during synthesis reactions.
Protein synthesis starts with transcription of mRNA from a DNA gene in the nucleus.Various types of RNA may have been synthesized using the appropriate DNA. The RNAs migrate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where the process of translation takes place. During the process the mRNA with the codons (three nucleotide bases that code for a specific amino acids) is interpreted by the anticodons in the tRNA , thus forming amino acids with together forms polypeptides and then proteins are formed.
