    The heart rate of Daphnia increases as the caffeine concentration increases, with heart rate rising from 182 bpm in pond water to 228 bpm in 0.5% caffeine solution. Caffeine is a cardiac stimulant that increases chemicals like adrenaline, causing an elevated heart rate by blocking enzymes that regulate the heart rate.

    Daphnia conclusion

    Using the data, write a


    conclusion on the effect of Overall, the heart rate of the Daphnia increases as the
    caffeine on the heart rate of caffeine concentration increases. The resting heart rate of
    the Daphnia. (Compare the the Daphnia in pond water (it’s natural habitat and 0.0%
    effect of caffeine on heart concentration) is 182 bpm. In distilled water (which is also
    rate to the controls. What is 0.0% concentration) the heart rate increases slightly by 6
    the effect of increasing bpm. It increases again by 28 bpm, now at 210 bpm at 0.1%
    caffeine concentration on caffeine concentration and then a further 12 bpm at 0.5%
    the heart rate? Refer to the which brings the bpm up to 228. The standard deviation of
    data in your conclusion) the experimental groups of caffeine concentration do not
    overlap, increasing the validity of the results; the standard
    deviation of the control groups, however, do overlap which
    suggest a possible link between them.

    Using your research explain


    the effect of caffeine on the Caffeine is a cardiac stimulant which increases the activity
    heart rate of the Daphnia. in the nervous system and circulation the of chemicals like
    adrenaline in the body which increases alertness and
    causes an increase in the heart rate.[1] The caffeine binds to
    receptors within the heart; this blocks an enzyme called
    phosphodiesterase from working with another enzyme
    cyclic AMP to keep the heart at its normal rate and
    therefore, heart rate increases.[2]
