Caffeine effect on Daphnia’s heart rate Prepared for: Androniki Kloni By: Maria Mitsi October 6‚ 2013 Abstract Caffeine is a bitter‚ white crystalline xanthine alkaloid and a stimulant drug. Caffeine is found in varying quantities in the seeds‚ leaves‚ and fruit of some plants‚ where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyzes and kills certain insects feeding on the plants‚ as well as enhancing the reward memory of pollinators. An experiment was held‚ on an aquatic

PART B YOU WILL NOW DESIGN AN EXPERIMENT TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF A FACTOR AFFECTING VITAMIN C IN FRUIT JUICES WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON VITAMIN C IN FRUIT JUICES? The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the difference in temperature will damage vitamin C in any type of fruit juices. Five different temperatures of fruit juices will be used(5‚ 22‚ 50‚ 70‚ 90) degree Celsius to see how temperature affects the loss of vitamin C in fruit juices. The amount of vitamin C in the fruit

was to evaluate absorbance and the reaction rate of an enzyme‚ ’-amylase in starch-iodine solution. We will be testing the relationship between enzymatic reaction affected by temperature and pH. Through the testing the enzyme at different temperatures‚ and different pH levels; it would determine at which temperature and pH level the enzyme worked the most efficiently. Analyzing absorbance of the solutions with spectrophotometery will determine the reaction rate. To test the optimal pH‚ the starch

Assignment One - Case study‚ Hindustan Computers Limited (HCL Technologies) Behaviour modification strategies. Behavior modification strategies are based on the principals of operant conditioning and reinforcement theory‚ which take the view that learning is influenced by the environment. The renowned psychologist B. F. Skinner expressed that through operant conditioning‚ people’s behavior could be shaped by reinforcement or lack thereof. According to Wood‚ et al‚ a reinforcer is a stimulus

Hypothesis: As the caffeine concentration rises‚ so does the mean heart rate of daphnia. Risk Assessment: In this experiment there are the following risks both for the human that carries out the experiment and the daphnia: ← The human that carries out the experiment should be cautious not to touch the lamp with wet hands since it uses electricity. ← Also‚ be careful not to spill any of the pond water on the floor. ← As for the daphnia‚ there is a chance for them to die as when
