Process: - Fuel mixes with air - Mix gets inducted into cylinder - Piston compresses the mix - Spark plug emits a spark that ignites it causing combustion - Combustion gases expand - Pushes piston during power stroke - Exhaust valve opens to vent exhaust out tail pipe. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the spark plugs are weak happens, how will it affect the engine will have less power. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes

Q: Process: - Your thermostat senses that the room temperature has fallen below your thermostat setting - Your thermostat sends a signal to your heating system to provide heat for your home - When your oil burner is engaged, heating oil travels from the tank to the burner by way of a pump - Here the oil becomes a fine mist mixed with air - The fuel/air mixture is then injected into the burner where it is ignited in the combustion chamber - The warm air is disbursed through vents, hot water through baseboards, or by steam radiators - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the room has less heat happens, how will it affect less heat oil travels from the tank. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Question: Process: - Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in a plant - The light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide - The plant uses nutrients in the soil - The plant uses carbon dioxide in the air to produce glucose - The plant uses the glucose to give itself energy - Oxygen is released as a by product. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more carbon dioxide is available to produce glucose happens, how will it affect LESS sugar and oxygen being produced. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes

[Q]: Process: - A conducting metal, like copper, is wrapped around a piece of metal - An electrical source, like a battery, produces an electrical current - The electrical current flows through the wire - The electrical current creates a magnetic field around the wire, magnetizing the metal - The magnetic field can be turned on and off by starting or stopping the electricity source - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a weaker electromagnet produced happens, how will it affect a WEAKER electromagnet. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

[A]: yes

input: Please answer the following: Process: - Items that can be reused are placed into recycling containers - Recycling trucks pick up the items that are able to be reused - The recyclable items travel to a recycling plant - The items are sorted by what they are made of - The items are broken down into small parts - The small parts are melted to make new raw parts - The raw parts are sold to manufactures to make new items. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more items are placed in recycling containers happens, how will it affect MORE recyling. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes

Process: - You breathe in - Air goes through all the little branches in your lungs to fill up the air sacs, or alveoli - Oxygen goes through the walls of the alveoli and into the capillaries - The oxygen goes into the bloodstream - Oxygen is left and carbon dioxide is picked up - You breathe it out through your lungs - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less mass pulled inward happens, how will it affect fewer air sacs in lungs being filled. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
