Experiment Report for: ‘the affect of Caffeine on Daphnia’s heartbeat’ Introduction: Aim: The aim of this experiment is to understand the affect of the drug Caffeine on the rate of a Daphnia’s heartbeat. This is to understand the affect of caffeine on a human’s heart rate and the use of daphnia keeps the experiment fair and safe. Background Research: Daphnia – Daphnia (water fleas) are grouped as crustaceans under the arthropod group of Kingdom Anamalia. They have an open circulatory

leaves with hot water. Yet a very high yield of caffeine was obtained. The crystals melted at 202-214°C. Explain. • The sodium carbonate is supposed to be added when extracting the tea leaves with hot water in order to help purify the caffeine. So since the student neglected to add sodium carbonate the caffeine won’t be pure but the student would still be able to recover a large amount of caffeine. The literature melting point is 238°C. Because the caffeine wasn’t pure enough‚ the observed melting point

Despite the range of constituents‚ researchers generally claim caffeine as the core ingredient responsible for the stimulatory effects of energy drinks (Reissig‚ Strain‚ & Griffiths‚ 2009). However‚ recent research has suggested a synergistic interplay between energy drink constituents‚ with greater performance benefits conferred by the whole beverage than expected from the caffeine content alone

Effect of Alcohol and Caffeine on the Water Flea: Daphnia Magna Kristoffer Osuntuyi Daphnia Magna Abstract: In this experiment I will find the base heart rate of each water flea. The base heart rate is the control in my experiment. The variables in the experiment are alcohol and caffeine. After finding the control of the first flea I will surround it with alcohol. The second flea will go through the same process as the first flea did‚ except the variable will be caffeine. The purpose of these

justification part 1: In order to understand a little bit about the effects of common household drugs such as nicotine and caffeine on pulsation rate‚ an experiment was conducted with Lumbriculus Variegattus (Blackworms). In week 1‚ we observed the basal rate of three different worms‚ and then placed the same three worms on different concentrations of caffeine and nicotine. “Caffeine is known to act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain; it promotes sleep and suppresses aurosal‚ binding to the

The purpose of this laboratory exercise was to demonstrate and explain the effects caffeine on the circulatory system of blackworms and to test the hypothesis that high concentrated caffeine will double the heart rate pulsation of blackworms. Blackworms have several complex systems including a closed circulatory system: a complete digestive tract: and a nervous system‚ including a brain

parents- say there are "dangerous side effects from consuming too many energy drinks at one time’’ (Caffeine Informer). One study showed that between 2009 and 2011 there were 4854 calls to poison control centers involving energy drinks and 51% of these calls were involving children (Caffeine Informer).The truth is‚ they are not entirely correct. As you may know‚ energy drinks are high in caffeine which‚ to an unhealthy heart‚ can be bad. In fact‚ these drinks have been reported in association with

The effects of caffeine on the heart rates of Daphnia. Introduction In the water flea‚ Daphnia‚ the single‚ small heart is easily visible when viewed under a low power microscope. The heart rate can be monitored and measured in different conditions‚ such as change in water temperature‚ or in this case‚ the concentration of chemicals added to the water they habitat. A change in daphnia heart rate under the influence of a concentration of caffeine solution creates a procedure providing an interesting

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

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
