As a result, the CO 2 that plants use as a carbon source for synthesizing organic compounds always includes a certain proportion of 14 CO 2 molecules as well as nonradioactive 12 CO 2 and 13 CO 2 . Any animal that eats a plant ingests a mixture of organic compounds that contains approximately the…

The most common types of radioactivity are α decay, β decay, γ emission, positron emission, and electron capture. Nuclear reactions also often involve γ rays, and some nuclei decay by electron capture. Each of these modes of decay leads to the formation of a new stable nuclei sometimes via multiple decays before ending in a stable isotope. All nuclear decay processes follow first-order kinetics and each radioisotope has its own half-life.

It covers chemical kinetic methods using reaction rates, radiochemical methods using radioactive decay, and flow injection methods where samples react and move with carrier streams. Chemical methods are useful for slow reactions and enzyme analysis; radiochemical methods utilize isotopes, and flow injection is ideal for fast sample processing.

These problems address the derivation of equations, determination of concentration and purity through kinetics experiments, understanding enzyme mechanisms and inhibition, and isotopic tracer analysis. Additional concepts include rate calculations, enzyme activity, flow injection analysis, standard deviation, and competitive inhibitor effects.
