An Investigation To See The Effect That Alcohol Has Upon The Heart Rate Of Daphnia. Aim: In this investigation I am going to see how alcohol affects the heart. Due to the ethical and safety issues involved in using in an investigation such as this I am going to use Daphnia (water flea) to conduct this experiment. Although humans and Daphnia are very different organisms‚ the affect that alcohol has upon the heart should be similar. Hypothesis: The hypothesis I am going to test during the

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

aim of this practical is to investigate the effect of exercise on heart rate and breathing rate. We will use a digital heart rate monitor strapped on our chest while we perform different levels of exercise. A digital watch is also provided which receives signals from the heart rate monitor and displays your current heart rate on the screen. To measure the breathing rate at different levels of exercise‚ we measure the breathing rate before physical activity by counting the number of breaths in 10 seconds

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

and access to a healthy culture of Daphnia. Students can readily follow this procedure working in pairs. Because of the variability of results between individual Daphnia it is not appropriate to make conclusions from one set of results‚ so each pair (or group) of students should carry out more than one investigation to contribute to the class set. One option is to record a live video of a sample Daphnia‚ during a time period in which students count the heart beats. Then‚ you can replay the video

Every day your heart pumps blood through a vast network of blood vessels around and around your body‚ delivering food and oxygen to cells and removing waste. The pulse (heart rate) is the number of times a person’s heart beats per minute (bpm). The pulse is a rhythmical throbbing of the arteries as blood is propelled through them‚ typically felt in the wrists or neck. Your resting heart rate occurs when you become relaxed or comfortable. These are shown when sitting or lying down. The ability to

Investigating the effect of coffee on the heart rate of daphnia Aim: To find out the effect of different caffeine concentrations on heart rate in daphnia Independent variable: • Caffeine concentration Dependent variable: • Daphnia heart rate Controlled variables: • Size of daphnia • Habitat from which the daphnia is obtained • Temperature of the surrounding How the variables can be controlled: • Equally sized daphnia should be used in the experiment • All daphnia should be collected at a same

Investigate the effect of on exercise on the heart rate. Aim: To find out if there is any relevant link between the amounts of exercise taken to increase a person heart rate. Equipment needed: Stop watch Screen volunteer P.E kit Calculator Record sheet Type of exercise: skip for few minutes ‚ then break in between and again repeat it once or twice. Method: First of all‚ we needed to take the resting heart rate of the person who is about to skip. Then‚ with the stopwatch one

Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each chemical

The popular name for Daphnia is ‘water fleas’ because they resemble fleas in shape and movement. Unlike fleas‚ which are insects‚ Daphnia are crustaceans classified under the scientific order‚ Cladocera. The purpose of this experiment was to examine the alertness of Daphnia ambigua alertness at different temperatures. It involved the incubation of 30 Daphnia ambigua in three 100ml beakers. Exposing each beaker to a different temperature revealed that temperature of the surrounding environment had
