Daphnia vs . Alcohol (Ethanol)
Ethanol is a main ingredient found in alcohol such as beer, liquor, and wine. This ingredient plays a major role in deceasing the mobility rate of humans. The purpose of this experiment was to determine if ethanol would affect daphnia mobility rates as much as it is does humans. In order to perform this experiment, the ethanol was diluted to certain concentrations that would resemble Budweiser, Hennessey, and Chardonnay. The results indicated that each daphnia intake towards the diluted concentration mobility rate slowed down. If anyone decides to conduct this experiment I would recommend that you use an accurate stop watch, apply three drops to each daphnia for sufficient results, and conduct the experiment more than once for sufficient results.
