DISCUSSION
It has been observed that as the nature of activity turn out to be more demanding, the rate of heartbeat also increased. The rise in the rate of heartbeat is due to the increase in cell respiration of the muscles.

Blood delivers the inhaled oxygen around the body, feeding the muscles oxygen in order for them to keep functioning.

 Consequently, wastes are also being produced at a faster rate and needs to be removed more quickly through the flow of blood. In order for both processes to be compensated and efficient, the heart needs to pump faster to increase the flow of blood throughout the body.

CONCLUSION
The rate of heartbeat of humans and frogs is directly proportional to the nature or hardness of an activity

DISCUSSION
the heartbeat became slower alkaline environment creates an ideal heart function acid wastes act just like bad cholesterol too much acid wastes in the bloodstream may erode and eats into cell wall membranes of the heart, arteries, and veins the heart is normal when the pH of the blood plasma is 7.35-7.41. acid pH destabilizes free ionic balances within circulation, increasing the populations of positively charged particles (cations: H+ and Ca+), which interferes with the proper muscle contraction of the heart and arteries

ACIDIC ENVIRONMENT MAY CAUSE:

arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) aneurysm (widening and ballooning of artery walls) arrhythmia (abnormal rhythms of the heart) myocardial infarction (heart attack) stroke (a cardiovascular accident).
