Daphnia Heart Rate Lab Report

Corotto, F., Ceballos, D., Lee, A., & Vinson, L. (2010). Making the Most of the Daphnia Heart Rate Lab: Optimizing the Use of Ethanol, Nicotine & Caffeine. The American Biology Teacher , 176-179. The purpose of this article was to test the effects of chemicals on Daphnia magna. Caffeine, Nicotine, ethanol, and a control solution were tested. The heart rate of Daphnia was measured after exposure to each of the chemicals. After testing, it was found that ethanol depressed the heart rate while exposed, but the heart rate stabilized after exposure. With exposure to nicotine, the heart rate increased by 20%. If more nicotine was added, the effects were varied and sometimes irreversible. Caffeine did not have a measurable effect on the heart rate

  • Constant Hazard Rate Lab Report

    442 Words  | 2 Pages

    If the population of elapsed time intervals until an event occurs is assumed to follow an exponential distribution, implying a constant hazard rate throughout every observation subwindow, the maximum likelihood estimate of that hazard rate is 0.2361, with a standard error of 0.013790. The assumption of an exponential distribution with a constant hazard rate produces an EXTREMELY GOOD fit with the observed data. The analogue of an unadjusted coefficient of determination (R-squared) would be 0.9974. An attempt was made to fit a Weibull distribution to the same data.

    HEART COMPLICATION – Caffeine and other ingredients in the energy drinks can increase the heart rate and blood pressure. Caffeine is the ingredient which can influence the heart beat due to the liberate of calcium from the heart cells. Caffeine and other ingredients in the energy drink also increase the blood pressure which can damage the normal balance of salts in the body. These complications can cause many health problems such as arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, hypertension, coronary heart failure, etc. Highly caffeinated energy drinks and energy shots may enhance sports performance and keep someone alert and attentive but the risk of getting too much of caffeine intake can endanger the heart at any age.

  • Pediatric Cardiology Personal Statement Examples

    Pediatric interventional cardiology is a passion and a dream which I hope one day to realize. During my first pediatric residency training, I realized the depth of my interest in cardiology. I found pleasure and interest in all the pediatric cardiology rotations; however, cardiac catheterization, despite the limited sophistication with which it was performed, captivated me. As there were no training opportunities available back home and few interventional procedures can be done due to lack of experience in congenital interventional cardiology. Therefore, I decided to pursue a second pediatric residency training in the USA to allow me the opportunity for further training in pediatric cardiology and eventually congenital cardiac intervention.

    The graph displays a negatively skewed trend, which suggests that the hypothesis was not supported. This is because the greatest percentage of caffeine (100%) did not result in the greatest reaction time, as predicted. The subjects who drank a 50% caffeinated beverage had the fastest reaction rate, taking an average of 0.39478 seconds to react. Comparatively, the subjects that drank the 100% caffeinated beverage had a slower average reaction time of 0.45917 seconds, taking longer to react. The subjects who were not exposed to any caffeine (0%) had a reaction time of 0.47293 seconds.

    The amount of toxins varies widely from plant to plant. As much as a 5:1 variation can be found between plants, and a given plant's toxicity depends on its age, where it is growing, and the local weather conditions. Additionally, within a given Datura plant, toxin concentration varies by part and even from leaf to leaf. When the plant is younger, the ratio of scopolamine to atropine is about 3:1; after flowering, this ratio is reversed, with the amount of scopolamine continuing to decrease as the plant gets older (Preissel et al.,

    This challenges the findings from previous studies, for example Mayo Clinic researchers conducted a similar experiment where subject group were given the energy drink and a placebo. The findings indicated a significant rise in blood pressure for those who consumed the energy drink when compared to the placebo group. In addition the effect was most pertinent for those who did not consume caffeine on a regular basis, thus suggesting that energy drinks may increase the risk of cardiac events. Despite the benefits of caffeine, it is important to take into account the detrimental health effects that concurs within the body when consuming. Studies show that in hypertensive individuals, caffeine intake produces an acute increase in blood pressure (BP) for ≥3hours (Mesas AE1, Leon-Muñoz LM, Rodriguez-Artalejo F, Lopez-Garcia E.2011).

    Research on the use of toxicants involves efficiency, delivery systems and by-kill (Marks et al. 2006). Moseby & Hill (2011) undertook a large scale baiting trial with 1080, they found a major decline in cat activity after the first baiting event however. 1080 is not species-specific, Denny (2001) calculated that, at least 61 native vertebrate species were known to have consumed 1080 poison bait, and 24 of these natives were known to have been killed by 1080 poison.

    But many athletes, then athletes in the broadest spectrum of disciplines, as well as students who are learning hard for exams, used pure synthetic caffeine in the form of pills. In whatever form that takes, caffeine eventually decompose and stimulates the release of fat. It is believed that caffeine stimulisee release of excitatory hormones epinephrine and neorepinefrina from the adrenal gland, and also stimulates the brain to release dopamine; thus stimulates the release of fat and increases energy, stamina and mental clarity. This naturally raises us and "pump" we metabolism, a posledeca is greater calorie burn.
