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.

Why does the sodium potassium pump require ATP?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The sodium–potassium pump is found in many cell (plasma) membranes. Powered by ATP, the pump moves sodium and potassium ions in opposite directions, each against its concentration gradient. In a single cycle of the pump, three sodium ions are extruded from and two potassium ions are imported into the cell.
