, Structure of mammalian heart by dissection -daphnia (reference)




Dependent beats per minute’ for heart rate

Independent Pesticide used

- allow Daphnia to acclimatize / equilibrate in the pesticide
- pencil and dots for set time period (30s) , count heart beats for
stated time
- controlling temperature
- obtaining Daphnia from pesticide-free water
- use of a cavity slide/ immobilizing Daphnia with cotton wool
- same concentration of pesticides
- same size Daphnia
- take several readings and calculate a mean

Why pesticide - pesticides may be water soluble ;
enter Daphnia - so enter by diffusion / facilitated diffusion
and cause a - absorbed by heart muscle cells / alters nerve function / alters
change in (muscle) contraction
heartbeat

Error - Daphnia not be same size
- Not enough data
- Too high conc kill the pesticide
- Counting of the heart beat not accurate
