What is the effect of atropine plus acetylcholine on frog heart?

ACh will decrease heart rate/contractile strength, etc. Atropine is a muscarinic ACh receptor (mAChR) antagonist, so blocks the effects of ACh. Adding both together will result in a weak action of ACh that tails off as all the mAChRs become blocked by Atropine.

Different between atropine and hyoscyamine?

There is not much difference between them. Atropine and Hysocyamine are isomers of each other. Atropine is (+/-) Hyoscyamine, the tropic acid ester of tropine. The naturally occurring alkaloid is (-) Hyocyamine. Thus it can be said that Hyoscyamine is a racemic form of Atropine. In other words, Atropine is a racemic variety of tropine tropate, hysocyamine being the levorotatory enantiomorph of tropine tropate.
