Literature Review The human heart is a very complicated organ‚ with the main purpose to pump life sustaining blood throughout the human body. It also supplies oxygen and nutrients to all areas and clears harmful waste from the body. The heart is made up of cardiac muscle which beats on its own. According to the article ‘heart ‘which was written by The National Geographic the heart will slow down or speed up depending on how the body is being used. This is done by nerve signals which are being

customers’ needs anymore. So‚ our company has designed a brand new promotional gift. It can best suit our clients’ needs and lifestyles. This is – a heart rate watch. First of all‚ if you look at this paper‚ you can see that this watch has a function that has never been designed for before – a heart rate monitor. It enables the users to measure their heart rate while doing exercises. Actually‚ the underlying purpose of this design is to immerse into customers’ daily lives. Let’s imagine that‚ when you

Caffeine on Daphnia Heart Rate: Aim: To investigate the effect of caffeine on the heart rate in Daphnia. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that as the caffeine content increases‚ the heart rate if the Daphnia increases. Equipment: * Culture of water flea – Daphnia * Caffeine of 5 different concentrations * Microscope * Counter * Cavity Slide * Pipettes * Stop clock * Distilled water * Test tubes * Petri dish Method: 1. Remove one Daphnia and place

Creatine is a substance used by athletes and bodybuilders to increase the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)‚ which gives them the energy they need to perform. In this experiment‚ creatine is added to water and its effects on Daphnia is tested. By observing the heart rate‚ one can determine if the creatine increases or decreases heart rate. Heart rate was chosen to be measured because one can then see how creatine affects the heart. If it is unhealthy for the Daphnia‚ it could potentially

Substance abuse and substance dependency are more alike than they are different because they both involve the overindulgence in illicit drugs or alcohol. Substance abuse seems to be the stage before dependency being that one has to excessively use the drug in order to become dependent. Once a person becomes dependent on an illicit substance they are prone to becoming functioning addicts where the abuse is ongoing. The only real difference between the two is that substance dependency allows one to

Erin Bolton Chemistry Lab Report April 29‚ 2015 Lab: Reaction Rates Introduction: In this experiment we studied the reaction of potassium persulfate‚ K2S2O8‚ with potassium iodide‚ KI. All chemical reactions have an energy barrier to overcome before the reaction will proceed. We will record data based on the concentration‚ temperature and catalyst for each experiment. Once this has been completed it will be graphed. Procedure: Due to the chemicals being used having hazard gloves are used

Daphnia‚ also known as the water flea are planktonic crustaceans that are found in lakes‚ ponds‚ and streams. They received “their common name from their jerky movement through the water” (Clare). They are also “very small‚ usually 2-5mm long‚ with an overall shape similar to a kidney bean” (Elenbaas). Daphnia play an important role in the freshwater food chains and serve as food for other freshwater organisms such as fish. They are also commonly used to test for chemical toxicity in water. Since

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 to beat irregularly. Studies show that caffeine
