- In 1941, biologists exposed photosynthesizing cells to water containing a heavy oxygen isotope, designated 180. The "labelled" isotope appears in the 02 gas released in photosynthesis, showing that the oxygen came from water. Where would the 180 have ended up if the researcher had used 180-labeled CO2 instead of H2O? A. ADP B. NADP+ C. Rubisco D. DP and NADP+ E.
