During cellular respiration, the radioactive hydrogen in the water molecules is most likely incorporated into the metabolic processes of the plant. Specifically, the hydrogen ions may be utilized in the reactions that occur in the electron transport chain, which is involved in the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from energy obtained from the breakdown of glucose. Once the radioactive hydrogen is incorporated into these metabolic pathways, it will not necessarily remain radioactive, as the plant will utilize the energy from these reactions to carry out normal cellular functions. Ultimately, any radioactivity that remains would likely be excreted from the plant through normal biological processes, such as transpiration or waste removal.
