Daphnia Hypothesis
In this lab, the problem was, how do certain types of drugs affect body’s homeostasis. The drugs tested were prescription painkillers and hemp. The hypotheses stated that both drug were depressant drugs thus meaning that heart rate, and along with it, metabolism. The hypotheses are, in fact, true statements that can be backed with the data collected. The initial heart rate before the drug, hemp was applied, was 216 BPM. The final heart rate, with the drug was 132 BPM. That is a change by -84 BPM. This proves that hemp lowered the heart rate of the Daphnia, like the hypothesis stated. The overall average for all the groups, there is a similar trend with a -7% change meaning the every test had the same outcome of the heart rate decreasing. There

The Daphnia could have some leftover effects from the previous testing. The two daphnia tested were not the same size or had the same BMI. So thes could mean that certain types of drugs work faster when a person is skinnier or fatter, thus meaning the drugs didn’t take their full effect at the same time. This meaning that when the data was being recorded when the drug wasn’t at its highest peak of effectiveness. Assuming that the Daphnia and huma react in similar ways with drugs, the bugs might act completely different from another. Sometimes people need more of the drug to get it’s effects or vise versa. Meaning the data is not universal and definite. The altitude could might as well affect the rate in which a drug kicks in. Similar to all the other SEES, this means the data might not be when the drug is in full effect. Some might have been looking at the lungs instead of the heart meaning the data would be about the lungs instead on the determined heart rate. If the slide was not fully cleaned off and had residue from the previous drug the Daphnia could have absorbed that left over drug and had some of effects from the sed drug. Meaning that the heart rate could have gone up a litle or down a little showing inaccuracy in ONE certain drug and its effects on heart
