Question: Process: - Coal is mined out of the ground - Coal is pulverized into fine powder - The coal is mixed with hot air - The coal and hot air are blown into a boiler - The coal and hot air burn over a fire - Highly purified water is pumped through pipes in the boiler - The water turns into steam - The steam presses against turbines - The turbines spin - Electricity is produced. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the broiler works in the home happens, how will it affect MORE heat for the house. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes

Question: Process: - The flu virus has receptors, which are like viral Velcro, on the surface of the virus particle - The receptors will lock onto a target cell using these chemical receptors on the surface, which docks onto the cell surface - The receptors then go into the cell - The receptors use it like a factory - The receptors take it over and make it produce thousands or in some cases millions of copies of new viruses - The copies come streaming out of the cell - The copies infect other cells to make more viruses, or they escape from the body and infect a new victim - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less receptors take over and reproduce happens, how will it affect MORE cells being damaged. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes

Question: Process: - The pancreas detects chemical changes in the stomach - The pancreas creates juices that help digest food - The pancreas releases the juices into the stomach - Trypsin and chymotrypsin digest protein - Insulin is produced to move glucose from the blood - The enzymes begin producing again. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose I did not have surgery happens, how will it affect the pancreas working SOFTER. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer:
yes
