input question: Process: - The human body takes a breath inward - Air is transported to the lungs - Air reaches the alveoli, the smallest air sacs in the lungs - In the alveoli, air passes into the blood within small capillaries - The gaseous oxygen in the air dissolves into the capillary blood - The dissolved oxygen is picked-up by red blood cells - The red blood cells bind the oxygen via a protein called heme - Red blood cells circulate throughout the body and reach the various tissues - Within small capillaries, the heme release the oxygen - The oxygen can then reach the cells within the tissue - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more clean air happens, how will it affect more air passed into the blood. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: yes

Process: - Wind or water breaks small pieces off of a rock - The wind or water deposits tiny rocks - The rocks become known as sediment - The layers of sediment are pressed together by other layers of sediment on top - Minerals from the rocks in the sediment dissolve - Minerals glue the sediment together into a single rock. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose hurricanes are frequent in the area happens, how will it affect storms have longer duration. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
----
Answer: yes

Q: Process: - An enzyme in saliva begins to break down carbohydrates - Food is squeezed down the esophagus when you swallow - Acid and enzyme in the stomach break the food down - Releases nutrients - Food then pumped into small intestine - Fluid and enzymes from liver and pancreas pumped into small intestine - Help break food into smallest molecules - Nutrients pass through wall of small intestine - Nutrients absorbed into blood stream - Unused materials passed into large intestine to become fecal matter. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose person has an overeating disorder happens, how will it affect more nutrients being absorbed. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Question: Process: - Prophase is the first and longest stage of mitosis - In this stage the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell - In prophase the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles of the cell - In metaphase the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and become connected to the spindle fiber at their centromere - In anaphase the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are pulled apart - During telophase the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct rod-like shapes - Two new nuclear membranes then form around each of the two regions of DNA and the spindle fibers disappear. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is an increase in speed of mitosis happens, how will it affect HELPING mitosis to proceed normally. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes

[Q]: Process: - Pollution enters natural water sources such as rivers and lakes - The pollution negatively affects the water quality - The pollution negatively affects the health of plants and animals - The plants and animals have shorter, less healthy lives - The plants and animals do not reproduce very well - The number of plants and animals decreases over time - The quality of water gets worse and worse as there are no plants or animals to clean it - Eventually there is nothing living in the water and it is unusable - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose plants and animals lifespans decrease happens, how will it affect MORE bad effects of pollution. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes

Problem: Given the question: Process: - A sperm meets an egg in the uterus of a woman - The sperm implants itself into the egg - The sperm and egg form a zygote on the wall of the uterus - The fetus grows and develops - The woman gives birth to a baby - The baby is raised by parents until it is able to take care of itself - The person goes out into the world and finds a job - The person meets other people and has a life - The person gets a career, and gets married - The person retires and eventually passes away - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less birth-control used happens, how will it affect MORE babies. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
