Radioisotopes emit radiations and although most of the time radiation is bad for your body cause it can encourage mutation and damage body cells but sometimes if used in controlled condition they can kill cancerous cells which is good

What type of medicine use isotopes?
Some imaging uses radioactive isotopes to see various parts of the body.
What are pentane's biological uses?
Pentane hasn't a biological activity.
How is the use of radioactivity isotopes in treating some forms of cancer related to certain properties of gamma radiation?
The gamma radiation is very penetrant in biological tissues.
What can curium be used for or in?
Possible uses for thermoelectric generators (Cm 242 and Cm 244); now these isotopes has some disadvantages.
Radioactive isotopes are used to determine?
Age - by decay. Function (esp biological) by uptake measurements.
What is a biological application that uses radioactive istopes?
Radiocarbon dating of organic samples is a biological application of radioactive isotopes. Another such application is the tagging of molecules with radioisotopes in order to investigate biological pathways, such as metabolism.
What are some uses of isotopes in chemistry?
I Don't know
What type of medicine use isotopes?
Some imaging uses radioactive isotopes to see various parts of the body.
What are the biological equipment?
The biologist has many biological equipment that he/she uses to do some experiments. Magnifying glass, cover slip, microscope, beaker, scalpel, dissecting pan are some of the example of biological equipment.

What do you use curium for?
Possible uses of some curium isotopes in thermoelectric generators - in the future; now this type of device has some disadvantages.
What is the uses of isotopes in your daily life?
isotopes is a type of i guess calorie like things you need 4 grams of IT (isotopes) every day
What are pentane's biological uses?
Pentane hasn't a biological activity.
How is the use of radioactivity isotopes in treating some forms of cancer related to certain properties of gamma radiation?

What are some uses of actinium?
There really aren't any significant industrial uses. Certain isotopes are used in medicine and in radiolabeling water for use in tracing ocean currents.
