aim of this practical is to investigate the effect of exercise on heart rate and breathing rate. We will use a digital heart rate monitor strapped on our chest while we perform different levels of exercise. A digital watch is also provided which receives signals from the heart rate monitor and displays your current heart rate on the screen. To measure the breathing rate at different levels of exercise‚ we measure the breathing rate before physical activity by counting the number of breaths in 10 seconds

fleas) Introduction- In this study I am going to investigate the effect of caffeine on Daphnia (water fleas) heart rate. I shall use daphnia as they would never have been exposed to caffeine before‚ unlike a human‚ who may have already developed a high tolerance to it. Another reason is that Daphnia have a very translucent body; therefore‚ it is relatively easy to see their heart under a microscope‚ which makes it easier to count the number of heartbeats‚ thus‚ making my results more accurate

Practical 1.1 Introduction: Caffeine belongs to a class of compounds called methylxanthines and can block a receptor on the surface of heart muscle cells for adenosine. In fact‚ it is caffeine’s blockade of the A1 adenosine receptor in the heart that causes the heart to pound after a significant caffeine dose. Caffeine and similar compounds also inhibit a class of enzymes known as cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases. These enzymes are‚ in part responsible for degrading a stimulatory signal produced

Aerobic Exercise on Heart Rate Introduction: Our bodies need to be in balance in order to function properly‚ and there are many ways the body maintains balance‚ or homeostasis. Homeostasis is the maintenance of nearly constant conditions in the internal environment. Our normal heart rate is an example of our body in homeostasis and any sort of change‚ or stimulus‚ can alter it. Exercise‚ adrenaline in the blood‚ and a low blood pH are all stimuli that increase the heart rate. Exercise‚ for example

Triphosphate (ATP)‚ which gives them the energy they need to perform. In this experiment‚ creatine is added to water and its effects on Daphnia is tested. By observing the heart rate‚ one can determine if the creatine increases or decreases heart rate. Heart rate was chosen to be measured because one can then see how creatine affects the heart. If it is unhealthy for the Daphnia‚ it could potentially be unhealthy for humans. “Long-term safety of creatine supplementation has been questioned. This retrospective

Effect of Exercise on Heart Rate. Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out how different intensities of exercise effect the heart rate I will measure it in beats per minute using a polar heart rate monitor. Hypothesis: I predict that as I increase the intensity of the exercise I do‚ that my heart rate will increase. This is because as I exercise more intensely I will need more blood to my muscles to supply oxygen and take away carbon dioxide; therefore my heart is going to have to beat

music affect the heart rate and what different types of music have a greater affect on heart rate? Music most definitely has emotional value. Heart rate can be directly influenced by these emotional changes. Our group decided to test music tempo’s effect on heart rate. This experiment is relevant to one’s health because it is important to understand how to control one’s heart rate. Before we started conducting our experiment‚ we hypothesized that fast tempo music increases heart rates while slower

Caffeine effect on Daphnia’s heart rate Prepared for: Androniki Kloni By: Maria Mitsi October 6‚ 2013 Abstract Caffeine is a bitter‚ white crystalline xanthine alkaloid and a stimulant drug. Caffeine is found in varying quantities in the seeds‚ leaves‚ and fruit of some plants‚ where it acts as a natural pesticide that paralyzes and kills certain insects feeding on the plants‚ as well as enhancing the reward memory of pollinators. An experiment was held‚ on an aquatic
