What would happen if Carbon-14 was in a glucose molecule and decayed into Nitrogen?

This interested me because of Melvin Calvin's experiment with photosynthesis where he used radioactive Carbon-14. If a plant used it as a reactant to make glucose, and that Carbon-14 decayed into nitrogen, what would happen to the molecule?
