First Dosage of Ephedrine on Worms
We chose Ephedrine as our treatment for the Lumbricus variegatus. We chose this because we were interested to find out if it had the same effects on the worms as it does on humans. It contains methamphetamines and amphetamines which we knew athletes used to try to get an advantage in sports, and we were curious as to how it would effect the worms. We ran our first tests today, and recorded results. We had previously hypothesized that our Lumbricus variegatus pulse rate would raise. And we were correct in our assumption, as the pulse rate doubled and even tripled in one case as compared to our control group. We expect this trend to continue throughout our tests, as we continue to expose our Lumbricus variegatus to 10% molarity.
