21.      A carrot plant is exposed to carbon dioxide containing  radioactive carbon for 24 hours.  After this exposure, the carrot roots are found to have accumulated radioactivity. These carrots are then fed to a rabbit.  One week later, the rabbit's tissue is tested for radioactivity and is found  to have a higher than normal background count.
