this experiment I aim to find out if caffeine has an effect on the heart rate of daphnia. Daphnia are water fleas that have a sort of heart that we can see in magnification. We can count the number of heart beats in a minute of a regular daphnia and try and get a new one with the same specifications as the old one that may have died. It is also a good idea to get a new one as we want to see how much it affects it from ordinary instead of adding the caffeine one after another. We have to be careful

Expensive highs‚ expensive addictions‚ smoking is a worthless habit. Nicotine‚ like so many other harmful substances‚ is a drug. They have the power to affect how you feel about yourself and those around you. It takes full control of your body‚ like your brain has been infected by tar. The three main groups of drugs are legal‚ illegal and medicinal. Legal and illegal‚ what is the difference in today’s world? Smoking causes fatal hazards and I believe as a consequence‚ should be

Measuring the effect of the concentration of caffeine on heartbeats. Caffeine is a stimulant which increases cardiac arrhythmia (improper heart rate) by increasing stress hormone (e.g. adrenaline) secretions. It also increases blood pressure which contributes to the blockage of receptors such as adenosine A1 and A2 receptors. The caffeine blocking receptors also blocks vasodilatory function‚ in which blood vessels become less dilated. Hence wise‚ caffeine is also known as a mild stimulant of the

The effects toxins such as caffeine‚ nicotine‚ epinephrine‚ ethanol and salt have on the Daphnia magna’s heart rate Results The effect the various drugs caffeine‚ nicotine and epinephrine had on the Daphnia magna is displayed in Figure 1. After three sample trials were taken there was an average of 180 beats/min-1 ± 6.928 taken under normal conditions. The addition of caffeine caused an increase in the average heartbeat to change to 192 beats/min-1 ± 9.165 in the Daphnia magna tested. When testing

U.S. Corporate Taxes and Reform The current U.S. corporate income tax system has many flaws and with the correct changes the United States budget deficit could transform into a surplus. There are two clear flaws in the current corporate income tax policy. The first is the high tax rate corporations pay in the U.S.; taxes on corporate income are currently at 35%. This burden causes businesses to avoid operating here and the cost is thousands of domestic employment opportunities. The next

Receptors and Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound

HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY REPORT DAPHNIA Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of temperature and various substances on the heart beat of Daphnia‚ a water flea. Introduction Daphnia belongs to a group of small‚ freshwater crustaceans of the order Cladocera commonly called water fleas. They are very suitable for laboratory studies due to the nature of their transparent exoskeletons. Hence‚ it is possible to watch Daphnia hearts without dissecting them. Daphnia is ectothermic and easily
