To solve the question of which compound, water or carbon dioxide, will contain the isotope when an aerobic organism is kept in an atmosphere of isotopic oxygen (O-18), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Role of Isotopic Oxygen**: - The organism is exposed to O-18, which means that the oxygen it breathes in is isotopically labeled. This isotopic oxygen will be incorporated into the metabolic processes of the organism. **Hint**: Remember that isotopes of an element behave similarly in chemical reactions but can be distinguished by their mass. ...
