Does caffeine affect heart rate? Background Information: Caffeine is a bitter white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a psychoactive stimulant drug. A German chemist‚ Friedrich Ferdinand Runge‚ discovered it in 1819. Plants produce caffeine as an insecticide. It is found in varying quantities in the beans‚ leaves‚ and fruit of over 60 plants‚ where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyses and kills certain insects feeding on the plants. Cocoa in South America‚ coffee in Africa

How Men and Women Differ I always thought that men and women were the same and could perform the same task; the only difference was their reproductive organs. I have found out that men and women are equal but different. Men and women alike want the same rights and opportunities. According to Google.com‚ “Scientist have come to accept that a few fundamental differences between men and women are biological. It turns out that men’s and women’s brains‚ for example‚ are not only different‚

Lamb/Hair/McDaniel (2012) mention that establishing realistic and measurable pricing objectives is a serious part of any firm’s marketing policy. Pricing objectives are usually categorized into three categories: profit oriented‚ sales oriented and status quo. In consistent with Lamb/Hair/McDaniel (2012) profit oriented pricing is based on profit

Investigation into the photosynthetic activity of isolated chloroplasts from spinach beet to various light conditions. Introduction Chlorophyll‚ an important pigment in chloroplasts‚ is an essential component in photosynthesis; converting electromagnetic radiation from the sun into potential chemical energy. Photons excite electrons in chlorophyll which move through the electron transport chain‚ resulting in energy being stored in the bonds of ATP and NADPH. The flow of electron through the electron

which can have an effect on the process of photosynthesis; in this laboratory experiment‚ the focus lies on carbon dioxide (CO2) availably and its effect on photosynthesis. By understanding the component that affect the rate of photosynthesis‚ one can do work to try and increase the rate of photosynthesis. The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to determine which solution would have the highest impact on oxygen production within the aquatic plant‚ Elodea densa (Brazilian Waterweed). The photosynthesis

temperature 32oC. Once the temperature was beyond the optimal level‚ the rate began to decline and this was represented by the concave curve on figure 5 and 7. This was because as the temperature increases‚ the frequency of collisions between the enzyme and the substrate also increased hence faster reaction rate. Whereas‚ the enzymes operated slowly at low temperature as there wasn’t sufficient energy for the substrates to move at a fast rate‚ hence decreased the number of collisions with the enzymes. However

Learning from Others Most people want their children to have more than they did or at least the same type of upbringing that they believe made them the type of person they are but some parents have begun to question which things should be important. Over scheduling children’s lives has become an issue that individuals‚ families and others have been exploring as many parents find they are so involved in shuttling their children to activities that they have little time to really interact as a

Heart rate is an extremely important part of many people’s lives. It affects our personal health and how our body works. When the body exercises‚ the heart rate goes up and when the body is inactive or not being active the heart rate goes down. When the pulse is pumping fast‚ then that means work is being done. Having a high heart rate is good for the heart and the body. Obese people can use heart rate and exercise to change their life. Due to the amount of people that are obese‚ a good amount of

ECONOMIC VIEWPOINT: DOES ABORTION LOWER CRIME RATE? By: Robert J. Barro This article reviews various reasons for lower crime rates in the United States since 1991. There were many explanations offered such as better cops‚ strong economy‚ restrictions on crack cocaine. Of all the explanations offered‚ legalizing abortions was very interesting and unpredictable among them. It clearly had the evidence that legalization led to increase in number of abortions in 1973 resulting in drop of crimes in 1991
