An experiment is conducted to test the effects of caffeine on heart rate. Four trails are set up. In each trial, a daphnia, a small water organism, is given different amounts of caffeine. After 5 minutes, the number of heart beats are counted for 1 minute. The results are shown in the table. Which of the following explanations states a logical cause and effect of caffeine on the heart beat of daphnia? A. Daphnia need caffeine to pump blood throughout their body. B. Caffeine caused daphnia to lower their heart rates over time. C. Caffeine does not affect daphnia's heart rate D. Daphnia given to much caffeine may die.
C.
Based on the data, daphnia that are given to much caffeine may die. Which of the following experimental practices would strengthen the conclusion made about daphnia and caffeine? A. The experimenter should test the experiment with other substances besides caffeine. B. The experimenter should test the experiment using different organisms. C. The experimenter should test each condition more than once. D. The experimenter should collect data after 10 min instead of 5 min.
