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

the 10-12 year old subject’s heart rate read 83 beats per minute (bpm). After doing jumping jacks the 10-12 year old subject’s heart rate read 96 bpm‚ that is a difference of 13 bpm. Before doing jogging‚ the 10-12 year old subject’s heart rate read 82 bpm. But after doing jogging for two minutes‚ the 10-12 year old subject’s heart rate read 92 bpm‚ that is a difference of 10 bpm. As it is shown in my data table‚ before doing sit-ups the 10-12 year old subject’s heart rate read 72 bpm. After doing sit-ups

the heart rate of DaphniaHypothesisThe Daphnia heart rate will increase with the concentration of caffeine. I based my hypothesis on the fact that humans heart rates increase with caffeine as it acts as a stimulant drug. In the experiment there will be several variables that I need to try and control‚ the temperature of the water is one of these because if the temperature is higher or lower on the day the results may end up being higher or lower‚ this would make my results inaccurate. I need to

Diving and Heart Rate Prelab Questions: 1.) If the peripheral blood vessels were constricted without making any other further adjustments in the cardiovascular system then the blood vessels could potentially burst due to the built up pressure and no further decrease in heart rate. The vessels would be smaller due to the constriction but the heart would continue to pump the blood with the same or greater force. The dive response prevents this from happening because it lowers the heart rate so that

example of a heart rate is called resting heart rate. The resting heart rate of the body is the number of contractions of the heart that occur in a single minute while the body is at complete rest. The resting heart rate can differentiate upon age‚ gender‚ and health of a human. There will also be a difference in number upon the resting heart rate of athletes and a non-athletes. I calculated 68 beats per minute for my resting heart rate. Another example of heart rate is target heart rate. Mathematically

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 of caffeine to the body can cause

measure the heart rate and ventilation rate before‚ during and after moderate exercise. Introduction: I predict that during exercise the heart and respiratory rate (RR) will increase depending on the intensity of exercise and the resting rates will be restored soon after exercise has stopped. I believe that the changes are caused by the increased need for oxygen and energy in muscles as they have to contract faster during exercise. When the exercise is finished the heart and ventilation rates will gradually

also explains the reasons for why breathing and heart rate becomes higher during physical activity‚ and if there are any differences between female and males. This experiment shows the biological principles‚ and how to record and produce data of a quality standard. Introduction: Air goes into the alveoli when we breathe in. This lets the veins around the alveoli drop of their carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. The oxygenated blood travels around the body and drops of oxygen to cells and picks up carbon
