So Ruben obtained heavy oxygen-a rare isotope which has a mass of 18 instead of the normal atomic weight of 16-and made from it heavy-oxygen water. This was fed to a green plant, together with ordinary, light-oxygen carbon dioxide. As photosynthesis proceeded, the scientists caught the freed oxygen, found it was the heavy variety. Next they fed the plant light-oxygen water and heavy-oxygen carbon dioxide...
