Answer #1

Radio labelled isotops we use to recognize certain chemicals/metabolites or desired molecules in the system and by using these radio labelled prob we can find out the pathways in a better manner. So in case of Hops Acetacetyle acetate (which are detected by radio labelled carbon; 14C) is present as a reactive metabolite of two major prminant chemica present in Hops that is lupulone and humulone. These are bitter organic chemicals and they can create toxicities to the animal so they need to transform into non-toxic compound or less toxic compound (this process is known as biotransformation) and can be detected through 14C acetyl group of acetoacetyl acetate and detected.
