∙ 11y agoA radioactive tracer, also called a radioactive label, is a substance containing a radioisotope that is used to measure the speed of chemical processes and to track the movement of a substance through a natural system such as a cell or tissue. A number of different radioactive forms of hydrogen, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, and iodine are commonly used in applications including biochemical assays ...
anyone who can better my answer??lets see!

∙ 13y agoA radioactive marker is a radioactive substance which is added to substance in order to trace the precise movement of that substance through a system.
You can for example add a marker to water and find out which cells of the body that water will end up in, what path it takes and how long it stays there.

Why is gamma used for a radioactive tracer?
Isotopes are used as tracers in many medical settings. Radioactive isotopes are used to identify abnormal bodily processes. The isotopes can also be used in plants to measure the amount of radioactivity in the leaves.
