The Effect of Caffeine 1% and 2% on Daphnia magna’s Heart Rate Abstract: Ectothermic animals are animals whose body temperature is affected by their surroundings. This means that if the environment is cold the animal will be cold. If the environment is warm the animal will be warm. This is because the animal doesn’t have the capability of regulating its body systems to keep a constant body temperature. When an ectothermic animal is cold‚ its heart rate will lower. When

Cellular respiration is defined as an enzyme mediated process in which organic compounds such as glucose is broken down into simpler products with the release of energy (Duka‚ Diaz and Villa‚ 2009). It is a series of metabolic processes and oxidation-reduction reactions. Oxidation of substrates‚ such as glucose‚ is a fundamental part of cellular respiration (Mader‚ 2009). As a catabolic process‚ it may or may not require the presence of oxygen. The process that requires oxygen is called aerobic

2010 The Effects of Caffeine on the Human Body I. In a quote by Eddie Vedder‚ I read "Caffeine‚ the Gateway drug." Around 90 percent of Americans consume caffeine every single day in one form or another. Consuming as little as 100 mg of caffeine a day can lead a person to become "dependent" on caffeine‚ yet it is legal and unregulated in many jurisdictions. Making it the most popular drug by far. In this speech I am going to explain how caffeine affects the Human body. II. Caffeine is believed

Introduction The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of caffeine on resting body temperature. This has to do with homeostasis‚ which is the maintenance of equilibrium. In other words‚ it is a stable body state. Homeostasis refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state‚ when the external environment is changed (Homeostasis 2). Humans are warm-blooded creatures that generate body heat internally and maintain body temperatures at a fairly constant level

establish a correlation between caffeine intake and the effects it has on both the pulse and respiration rates of an individual after undergoing moderate-intense cardiovascular exercise. Caffeine itself is one of the most heavily consumed drugs on the planet; it is estimated that over 90% of Americans consume caffeine daily (Richard Lovett‚ 2005‚ New Scientist iss. 2518) and is the most widely used stimulant in the world (Arcerio‚ P‚ Ormsbee‚ J‚ 2009‚ pg. 1).

Caffeine is a drug that helps people stay awake or alert. It is also known as trimethylxanthine‚ a naturally occurring chemical stimulant. The formula for caffeine is C8H10N4O2. It shares several traits with famous drugs like amphetamines‚ cocaine and heroin. It uses the same biochemical mechanisms as these drugs to stimulate brain function. Caffeine has its benefits‚ but it also has several draw backs. In this paper‚ we will explore these and come up with an answer to “is it worth it?” Adenosine
