The right answer is B

A radiotracer is an entity composed of a carrier molecule and a detectable radioactive isotope using devices such as gamma cameras or positron emission tomography.

A radiotracer is either a radioactive isotope alone or the combination of a molecule and a radioactive isotope. In this case, it is said that the molecule is labeled by the radioactive isotope.

A radioactive isotope is an atom whose nucleus, unstable, emits radiation. It could be :

- alpha radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons.

- a beta radiation consisting of a negative electron (beta) or a positive electron (beta +, positron).

- a gamma radiation consisting of a high energy photon.

Help! Will give brainliest to the best answer.

A nonnative species may not have any natural predators when being introduced subsequently it won’t have any competition with the other organisms living in the same ecosystem. This will make the other organisms struggle for food and other resources and could potentially make them go extinct. They can also have drastic effects to the local biodiversity (for the previous reason). Also, due to the competition or newly introduced predator (assuming they’re a predator) the preexisting organisms of the ecosystem may start to relocate and start a new ecosystem or if there are neighbouring towns/cities may have to forage for food there - which would obviously be dangerous for both them and us. Hope these few examples help.
