Effect of Alcohol and Caffeine on the Water Flea: Daphnia Magna Kristoffer Osuntuyi Daphnia Magna Abstract: In this experiment I will find the base heart rate of each water flea. The base heart rate is the control in my experiment. The variables in the experiment are alcohol and caffeine. After finding the control of the first flea I will surround it with alcohol. The second flea will go through the same process as the first flea did‚ except the variable will be caffeine. The purpose of these

Darra Boyer November 18‚ 2015 Affects of Various Drugs on the Heart Rate of Daphnia magna Introduction The Daphnia magna‚ more commonly known as water flea‚ is indigenous to ponds and lakes in northern and western North America. This crustacean has an outer transparent covering called the carapace. The unique physiology of the water flea is useful in translational research allowing researchers to visibly study all of the bodily systems without causing harm to the specimen (2). Being classified

The effects of caffeine on the heart rates of Daphnia. Introduction In the water flea‚ Daphnia‚ the single‚ small heart is easily visible when viewed under a low power microscope. The heart rate can be monitored and measured in different conditions‚ such as change in water temperature‚ or in this case‚ the concentration of chemicals added to the water they habitat. A change in daphnia heart rate under the influence of a concentration of caffeine solution creates a procedure providing an interesting

Alcohol and Caffeine on the Heartbeat Rate in Daphnia Magnus  Erika Huizenga Ashley Kofahl The Effects of Alcohol and Caffeine on the Heartbeat Rate in Daphnia Magnus Abstract The projects purpose was to determine the effects of alcohol and caffeine on the heartbeat rate in Daphnia Magnus. Our hypothesis is alcohol causes a decrease in heart rate‚ whereas caffeine causes an accelerated heart rate‚ predicting that the more caffeine we give the daphnia the faster it heartbeat rate will become

The Effects of Alcohol vs. Caffeine on Water Flea ’s Heart Rate. Title Page Abstract For our most recent experiment we tested the effects of immersing water fleas in caffeine and alcohol to see the effects on their heart rate. Before the experiment we hypothesized that if you place the water fleas in alcohol then their heart rate will slow down‚ and if you place them in caffeine then their heart rate will raise. For this experiment we needed water fleas‚ tap water‚ two pipettes

Does caffeine affect heart rate? In this experiment we were examining the effect of caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia which are water fleas. In my opinion I think that the caffeine will affect the heart rate because when the caffeine enters your blood from the stomach and small intestine it begins to stimulate your central nervous system‚ the Caffeine stimulates receptors in the cells of your heart to increase your heart rate. The increase of this heart rate speeds up your blood flow as well

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

chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each chemical. The data was averaged at the conclusion. It was discovered that alcohol acted as a depressant‚ it lowered the heart-rate of the Daphnia in comparison to

Introduction: The question investigated in this lab was which drugs have the greatest and least affect on the pulse of the Lumbriculus variegates. Ethanol will cause the worms to become inactive‚ caffeine will cause the worms to become overactive‚ and nicotine will cause the worms to become more active. Lumbriculus variegatus is also known as black worm. This small species of worms currently lives in North America and Europe within marshes and ponds. They survive by eating microorganisms and organic

Caffeine in the diet Email this page to a friend Bookmark & Share Printer-friendly version Caffeine is a substance that is found in certain plants. It can also be man-made (produced synthetically) and then added to food products. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a diuretic (substance that helps rid your body of fluids). Function Caffeine is absorbed and passes quickly into the brain. It does not collect in the bloodstream or get stored in the body. It leaves the body in
