Investigating the Effect of Caffeine on the Heart Rate of Daphnia Daphnia are extremely small aquatic invertebrates. They are transparent‚ so you are able to see their internal organs; this means it is easy to monitor their heart rate by observing them through a microscope [1]. Physiological results from caffeine consumption include the stimulation of heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ metabolism‚ body temperature and alertness. [2] In this practical investigation the aim was to determine whether the hypothesis

Shagun Mistry According to the experiment‚ the average normal heart rate of Daphnia is 20 heart beats per 12.94 seconds. There were six total trials done for Normal Heart Rate with 2 Daphnia (3 Trials each). The aim of this experiment was to measure the effect of neurotransmitters on the heart rate of Daphnia. When the adrenaline was added to the liquid around Daphnia and after a few seconds‚ its heart rate sped up. For example‚ during the first trial‚ the heart rate went

Researchers believe Daphnia magna alter their vertical migration behavior in the presence of ultraviolet radiation by adopting a deeper daytime distribution and avoiding potentially damaging levels of ultraviolet radiation in the top 3m of the water column. 4. A) Daphnia are affected by the presence of UVR in highly transparent lakes. B) The result depended on daytime observation in the experiment. C) In the experiment figure 3.

Ibuprofen Abstract The project that I chose to research was the effect of Ibuprofen on the heart rate of the daphnia. The reason that I chose to do this was because many people in society use over the counter pain killers without really understanding any of the long term effects of this medicine other than clearing their aches pains‚ and swelling. One of the leading drugs on the market today is Ibuprofen which you may know as Motrin or Advil. Both drugs are identical except for quantity and

The goal of this project is to test whether alcohol and caffeine has an effect on heart rate‚ using the freshwater crustacean‚ Daphnia magna‚ as the experimental subject. For humans‚ alcohol works as a depressant‚ slowing down the heart rate of the consumer; caffeine works as a stimulant‚ increasing the heart rate of the consumer. The heart depends on an internal pacemaker system to keep it pumping consistently and at the right speed. Alcohol disturbs this pacemaker system and causes the heart

The Effect of Caffeine on Heart Rate Caffeine is made by plants as a way of getting rid of insects. Cocoa is produced in South America‚ coffee in Africa and tea is produced in Asia have all been used for a very long time to give us a little rush in order to keep us going. Now caffeine is also used as a flavour enhancer in cola and other soft drinks also it has medicinal uses in aspirin preparations and is found in weight-loss drugs and as a stimulant in normal people in everyday to

Lab Report 3: Daphnia‚ Human and Crayfish Cardiac Activity Introduction An electrocardiogram‚ abbreviated as ECG in this report‚ is a visual representation of an organism’s atrial and ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Previous research has shown that although there is variability in the amplitude and shape of the waves of ECG‚ dependent on the subject’s health‚ it follows a universal pattern that can be used effectively for biometrics. The experiments discussed in this lab report were

in order to obtain oxygen for cells. Firstly‚ on a cavity slide‚ we placed a few strands of cotton wool to make sure the daphnia’s do not move out of focus once they are on the slide. Using a pipette‚ we transferred 1 daphnia onto the cotton wool. Whilst transferring the daphnia‚ we transferred some of the original water from the natural habitat across. Measuring the heart rate using the pond water allows us to compare the 3 other fluids to the control fluid and compare the heartbeats. We then
