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 Impact of a Reduction in Sunday Penalty Rates for Casual Employees on the Price Mechanism The Australian Financial Review recently published an article titled “Sunday penalty rate to be cut to 50pc” (Dunckley 2014). In summary: A Fair Work Commission ruling has reduced the 75% penalty pay rates for casual employees in Australia who work on Sundays to 50%. Penalty rates are designed to compensate employees for the loss

Introduction I am going to try and measure the rate of respiration in yeast and find out what factors affect the rate of respiration. I am going to change the concentration of the glucose solution and I’m going to measure the volume of gas produced during respiration in cm³. Yeast contains enzymes. Enzymes speed up a chemical reaction – they’re biological catalysts. Yeast can respire both aerobically and anaerobic; the anaerobic respiration of yeast is known as fermentation. The equation for

affect the heart rate and what different types of music have a greater affect on heart rate? Music most definitely has emotional value. Heart rate can be directly influenced by these emotional changes. Our group decided to test music tempo’s effect on heart rate. This experiment is relevant to one’s health because it is important to understand how to control one’s heart rate. Before we started conducting our experiment‚ we hypothesized that fast tempo music increases heart rates while slower paced

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

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Concentration has been defined as the ability to direct one’s thinking in whatever direction one would intend. Concentration plays vital roles in doing well in studies. A student has to work really hard and concentrate firmly to get concepts well in mind. All students have the ability to concentrate some of the time. But at other times students’ thoughts are scattered‚ and their minds race from one thing to another. They don’t have the ability to

Chemistry Lab Report (Design) Factors affecting Rates of a Reaction (Kinetics) KINETICS DESIGN LAB Research Question: Does the concentration of Potassium Iodide (KI) affect the rate of its reaction with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (of a fixed concentration)? Introduction: There are several factors that affect the rate of a reaction. Some of them being Pressure (if the reactants are Gases)‚ Temperature‚ Presence of a Catalyst‚ Surface Area of the reactant‚ and Concentration. According to

For each of the bags‚ identify whether the solution inside was hypertonic‚ hypotonic or isotonic in comparison to the beaker solution it was placed in. Bag #1’s solution was hypotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2. Bag #2’s solution was also hypotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2. Bag #3’s solution was isotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2 and Bag #4’s solution was hypertonic compared to the solution of beaker
