How does Caffeine affect the human body? Caffeine is the world’s most popular drug (Spiller‚ 1998)‚ and can be found in over 60 species of plants throughout the world. Consumption of caffeine comes from cola‚ coffee‚ cocoa‚ tea‚ some medications and so much more. In this paper I will describe the effects of caffeine on the human body‚ from the health risks to how it can help your body; here are just some of the ways caffeine affects the human body both physically and psychologically. First of

Effects of Alcohol‚ Caffeine‚ and Temperature on the Heart Rate of Daphnia magna Joseph Ezra Gallo BY124L MW 8:30-11:30 Introduction 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

Does caffeine affect the heart rate of Daphnia? Introduction In this experiment I aim to find out if caffeine has an affect on heart rate. Instead of using human subject‚ whom may already have a high tolerance to caffeine or could have ingested caffeine that day making the tests unfair‚ I will use Daphnia‚ a crustacean. They have on contact with caffeine making it fair. It will be easier to observe as it has a translucent body‚ making it able to see the heart beating under a microscope. It will

Daphnia Experiment Report 1. Introduction Caffeine is found in many plant species‚ where it acts as a natural pesticide. It is found most commonly in cocoa‚ tea and coffee‚ but is also artificially added to some soft drinks such as cola to act as a flavour enhancer. When consumed by humans‚ caffeine works as a stimulant causing amounts of released neurotransmitters to be increased. High use of caffeine has been related with raised blood pressure‚ restlessness‚ insomnia and anxiety which‚ in

Effec | Effect of caffeine on plant growth | Description This science fair project was performed to find out the effect on plant growth of adding caffeine to the soil. The experiment was done by using mung bean plants and watering them daily with water‚ water mixed with caffeine and with a coffee mixture. Hypothesis The mung beans watered using the coffee mixture will grow the fastest. Overview Caffeine and plant growth The effect of adding caffeine to the soil and its effect on plant

experiment we tested the effects of different adrenalin concentrations (0.001%; 0.01%; 0.1%) on the daphnia flea. The daphnia was placed on a slide with cover slip in order to examine its heartbeat by using the microscope. Aim In this Lab we will study the effect of different concentrations of adrenalin on the heart rate daphnia‚ the water flea. It is expected to recognize a threshold of the daphnia in its reaction the three different adrenalin concentrations‚ in terms of heart rate. Background The

Evidence Homework #1 Topic: Caffeine Preview: Every morning when I wake up the first thing I do after brushing my teeth is walk straight to the coffee pot. I pour myself a hot rich cup of coffee to start the day off. On my way out the door I grab my go cup and fill it up. When I finally get to school I get myself another cup of coffee. How many miller grams of caffeine do you think I have drank at this point? According to the Mayo Clinic a healthy amount of caffeine for an adult is 200 to 300 miller

The Effects of Secondary Plant Compounds on Lumbriculus Variegatus Heart Rate Introduction Blackworms (Lumbriculus variegatus) were used in this experiment to study the effects of secondary plant compounds‚ chemical compounds produced by plants that are not part of the general metabolism‚ on pulse rate. Secondary plant compounds act as defense mechanisms which reduce or eliminate consumption of some plant species or even attract predators. These compounds are not essential to the plant but often

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
