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

and age humans rely on caffeine for many things from that morning cup of coffee‚ soda with popcorn‚ caffeine infused skin products and many other applications. Our premises are that if caffeine can help with our skin and energy boost then wouldn’t the same apply to plants? The goal of this biology project is to examine the effect of caffeine on plant growth. Caffeine comes from a plant so it would seem that it could help plant growth. A plausible prediction is caffeine will support plant growth

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

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

Caffeine‚ the stimulant in coffee‚ has been called “the most widely used psychoactive substance on Earth .” Synder‚ Daly and Bruns have recently proposed that caffeine affects behavior by countering the activity in the human brain of a naturally occurring chemical called adenosine. Adenosine normally depresses neuron firing in many areas of the brain. It apparently does this by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters‚ chemicals that carry nerve impulses from one neuron to the next. Like

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

Caffeine Concerns How many times have you felt a bit tired and decided to rely on an energy drink‚ a cup of coffee‚ or a can of cola to charge your body with caffeine and boost your energy levels to maximum? If your answer is “frequently” then you are on a precarious path to poor health. Not only does caffeine have numerous emotional side effects‚ it will also disrupt your sleep‚ and cause harm to your body. For all of its immediate benefits‚ caffeine is one of the most harmful substances in the

and access to a healthy culture of Daphnia. Students can readily follow this procedure working in pairs. Because of the variability of results between individual Daphnia it is not appropriate to make conclusions from one set of results‚ so each pair (or group) of students should carry out more than one investigation to contribute to the class set. One option is to record a live video of a sample Daphnia‚ during a time period in which students count the heart beats. Then‚ you can replay the video

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
