scientist use radioactive hydrogen to make water the group plants using the radioactive water what happened to the radioactive hydrogen during photosynthesis
During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. In this process, the plants would incorporate the radioactive hydrogen from the water into the glucose molecule. This would make the glucose radioactive, but as glucose is a key energy source for the plant, the radioactive material would be distributed throughout the plant's tissues. The oxygen produced during photosynthesis would not contain any of the radioactive hydrogen.
