The article‚ Biotreatment of wastewater using aquatic invertebrates‚ Daphnia magna and Paramecium caudatum‚ mainly pertains to the idea of cleaning dirty‚ polluted water. Every since we‚ as a society‚ have switched from an agrarian to an industrial way of life‚ our waters have become increasingly polluted. Thus‚ scientists have researched conducted experiments in order to attain clean water. One of the failed attempts of attaining clean water was one in which they tried to use chemicals. Unfortunately

the heart rate of daphnia. Daphnia are water fleas that have a sort of heart that we can see in magnification. We can count the number of heart beats in a minute of a regular daphnia and try and get a new one with the same specifications as the old one that may have died. It is also a good idea to get a new one as we want to see how much it affects it from ordinary instead of adding the caffeine one after another. We have to be careful not to feed too much caffeine to the daphnia only a maximum of

Effects of salinity on the survival of the Daphnia Introduction The Daphniidae daphnia is a freshwater crustacean from the branchiopod class that is common to most ponds‚ lakes‚ pools‚ streams and springs around the world. The water flea‚ as it is sometimes referred to‚ is very small in size growing to a length of less than ¼ inch‚ it has a flat back‚ a rounded belly‚ black round eyes and a pair of antennae (Kindersley‚ 2006). The Daphnia have leaf-like appendages used in respiration‚ filter

Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound light microscope

Caffeine on Daphnia Heart Rate: Aim: To investigate the effect of caffeine on the heart rate in Daphnia. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that as the caffeine content increases‚ the heart rate if the Daphnia increases. Equipment: * Culture of water flea – Daphnia * Caffeine of 5 different concentrations * Microscope * Counter * Cavity Slide * Pipettes * Stop clock * Distilled water * Test tubes * Petri dish Method: 1.

After three sample trials were taken there was an average of 180 beats/min-1 ± 6.928 taken under normal conditions. The addition of caffeine caused an increase in the average heartbeat to change to 192 beats/min-1 ± 9.165 in the Daphnia magna tested. When testing the effect of nicotine on the Daphnia magna the average heart beat

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 Magna Carta‚ Latin for "Great Paper"‚ was written as a charter for England in 1215 (Magna 1). The Magna Carta has had the most significant influence on modern day common law and constitutions. The document was originally written because of disagreements between the Pope‚ King John‚ and his English barons over the rights of the king. The Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights‚ and to accept that the powers of the king could be bound by law (Asimov 12). There are a few misconceptions
