Radioisotopes are frequently used to label molecules in a cell. The fate of atoms and molecules in a cell can then be followed. Assume Saccharomyces cerevisiae is grown in a nutrient medium containing the radioisotope 35S. After a 48-hour incubation, the 35S would most likely be found in the S. cerevisiae's.
Explanation: Saccharomyces cerevisae cells produce proteins from Ribonucleic acid (RNA) after incubation in a suitable growth medium. The proteins synthesized are necessary for their optimal growth.
