Molecules in all organisms are composed in part of radioactive carbon-14. Which statement best explains the presence of carbon-1
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, the radioactive isotope reacts in the same way as stable isotopes in the chemical reactions in the body.

Explanation:

The carbon-14 atoms, which are created by the cosmic rays associates with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide that plants captivate naturally and comprise it into plant fibers by the process of photosynthesis. Afterward, the plants are consumed by animals and human beings, thus, they take in carbon-14 as well.  

The ratio of usual carbon-12 to carbon-14 in the air and in all the living species at a particular period is almost the same. These radioactive isotopes react in a similar manner as stable isotopes in the chemical reactions in the body.
