Daphnia are cold-blooded poikilotherms that rely on heat from the surrounding water to maintain their body temperature. An increase in the water temperature should equate to an increase in metabolic activity due to enzymes working at a temperature closer to their optimum level. However‚ once the optimum temperature has been exceeded‚ the enzymes will begin to denature. Hydrogen bonds‚ which keep the protein conformation‚ begin to break‚ causing a change in shape of the active site; substrates

Abby 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

TM How Does Temperature Affect Daphnia Heart Rate? Student Study Guide DID YOU KNOW? The body temperature of the Arctic squirrel drops from 98.6°F to 26.4°F‚ which is below the freezing point of water and is the lowest known body temperature of any living mammal. DID YOU KNOW? The average body temperature of the following warmblooded animals are: Humans: 98.6°F Rabbit: 101.3°F Polar bear: 99.1°F Blue whale: 95.9°F Owl: 104.4°F Ostrich: 102.6°F BACKGROUND Every animal

Effect of Chemicals on Daphnia Heart Rate Background: In the world today‚ there are many chemicals that people use to fix or help with issues within their own bodies. Some of these chemicals may include things like caffeine‚ nicotine‚ and alcohol. These supplements can have substantial effects on other things within the body like the brain‚ liver‚ and especially the heart. For example‚ many chemicals like caffeine‚ nicotine‚ aspirin‚ and sleep aid all have effects on the body which can cause your

the experimental hypothesis was accepted. These findings could be due to the negative phototactic response that occurs when they are exposed to visible light that are above 600 Mn (nanometers) that are also considered the color red. This shows that Daphnia have a greater phototactic reaction to red light than when exposed to white light. When compared to a similar study‚ the same result was found. It was reported that there was a significant difference in the Daphnia’s phototactic reaction when exposed

Introduction: Plant growth occurs throughout its life in a process known as indeterminate growth. This type of growth is capable because of the apical meristem and the lateral meristem. Meristem refers to a specialized section of plant tissue characterized by cell division and growth. Much of the mature plant ’s growth is provided by meristems in nature. And typically‚ Apical meristems found at the tips of stems and roots while lateral‚ or secondary‚ meristems found just under the surface along

The purpose of lab number thirteen was to examine the response of the daphnia to a chemical stimulant. Also examined was how human resting heart rates differed from the daphnia’s. Stimulants are any substances that raise the levels of activity in the body. Stimulants could be a number of things such as physical or chemical. Physical stimulus usually deal with something that affects the five senses such as sight‚ hearing these could be attributed to loud noises or too much light going into your eye
