Answer:

It'll receive less oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Less oxygen would be present in the warmer water, which could be one explanation for Daphnia's heart rate rising with temperature. Because there may not be enough oxygen in the blood, the heart would have to work harder to pump blood throughout the body.
