A radioactive marker is a molecule that contains a radioactive atom, such as carbon-14 or iodine-125. When the marker is introduced into a biological system, the radiation emitted by the radioactive atom can be detected using specialized equipment like a Geiger counter or a scintillation counter. By tracking the movement and accumulation of the marker in tissues or cells, researchers can study processes such as metabolism, protein synthesis, or cell migration.
