Solution
The correct option is D Only glucose is labelled and oxygen is normal. A) Oxygen will not be labelled and is normal as the supplied oxygen is normal as well. B) Glucose will be labelled as the carbon that forms it will be derived from the carbon dioxide supplied which is the supplied isotope.
C) Glucose will be labelled. D) Glucose will be labelled as the carbon that forms it will be derived from the carbon dioxide supplied which is the supplied isotope. Oxygen will not be labelled and is normal as the supplied oxygen is normal as well. So the correct answer is 'Only glucose is labelled and oxygen is normal.'
