The affect of caffeine on Daphnia Heart rate Aim: To see the effect of caffeine on the heart rate of the water flea Daphnia. Introduction: Caffeine is a stimulant which is derived from leaves‚ flowers and seeds of plants. The plant uses the caffeine as a way to repel insects as it is used as a natural pesticide by paralyzing and killing certain insects. It is used as a stimulant to human the central nervous system by increasing the stimulatory of the neurotransmitters‚ however high levels

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

TITLE: Effect of the caffeine on the heart rate OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of the caffeine on the heart rate of living organisms. INTRODUCTION: * Daphnia Daphnia are small‚ planktonic crustaceans‚ between 0.2 and 5 mm in length. Daphnia are members of the order Cladocera‚ and are one of the several small aquatic crustaceans commonly called water fleas because of their saltatory swimming style (although fleas are insects and thus only very distantly related). They

investigate the effect of different caffeine concentration on the heartbeat rate of Daphnia at room temperature. Introduction: Caffeine is found‚ and produced in many plant species to function as a natural pesticide‚ and as an inhibitor of seed germination of other nearby coffee seedlings to give it a better chance of survival. Caffeine is able to paralyze and kill certain insects upon feeding on the plants that produce caffeine. Coffee‚ tea and cocoa are common caffeine-containing plants

The effects of caffeine‚ alcohol and environment on Daphnia Magna. ABSTRACT In this experiment daphnia magna a semitransparent fresh water crustacean‚ are used to study the effects of water‚ alcohol and caffeine on heart rate. Daphnia was placed on a clean deep well slide. This was placed under the microscope and brought into focus on the best objective and light contrast. The heart rate was observed and counted within 15seconds and recorded on a table. Introduction Daphnia magna

information Daphnia Magna is an arthropod that can grow up to 5 mm. It is a filter feeder meaning it feeds off of suspended particles in the water. Daphnia can consume particles that range from 1µ to 50µ. The heart of Daphnia is located dorsally meaning it’s located in the back. The heart rate of Daphnia can range due to many variables‚ one being temperature. "At a temperature averaging 20o C its heart rate is about 200 beats per minute."2 As the temperature surrounding the Daphnia decreases so
