The Effects of Temperature‚ Acetylcholine‚ and Adrenaline on the Heart Rate of Daphnia magna Hieu Duong 6 April 2011 Introduction The heart is a muscular organ that constantly pumps blood throughout the human body. The continuous flow of blood creates a system for vital organs within the body to gain oxygen and nutrients. The timely delivery of oxygen to the body’s organs is very crucial. Brain cells‚ for example‚ will die within minutes if the flow of oxygen is obstructed. For the

Juanita Sarmiento Daphnia Ecotoxicology Lab Report Introduction Ecosystems have a way of maintaining themselves under ordinary conditions but when a new factor is added that will most likely threaten the environment action needs to be put forth. Our environment is affected by many pollutants on a daily bases forming a threat to natural stability. For example some of the most polluted parts of the environment are bodies of water like that explained in our lab. Once pollution occurs

Effect of caffeine on Daphnia (Water fleas) Introduction- In this study I am going to investigate the effect of caffeine on Daphnia (water fleas) heart rate. I shall use daphnia as they would never have been exposed to caffeine before‚ unlike a human‚ who may have already developed a high tolerance to it. Another reason is that Daphnia have a very translucent body; therefore‚ it is relatively easy to see their heart under a microscope‚ which makes it easier to count the number of heartbeats

03 - 31 - 2006 RESULTS: In this experiment the effect of different hormones on heart rate of _Daphnia_ was examined. It was investigated which substances act as stimulants and which substances act as depressant. Initially‚ _Daphnia_ was placed on depression slide under the microscope and the average heart rate was determined. Subsequently‚ _Daphnia_ was treated with different type of hormone and the effect on Daphnia heart rate was observed. It was investigated which substances act as stimulants

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
