[Q]: Process: - Human beings burn fossil fuels (oil, gas, etc.) - Carbon dioxide from the burning fossil fuels enter the atmosphere - The make-up of the atmosphere changes - Some energy from the sun cannot escape back through the changed atmosphere - The earth begins to heat because of the extra trapped energy - Human beings cut down trees - Human beings do not re-plant the trees - Trees cannot help take the extra carbon dioxide from the atmosphere - The extra trapped energy starts to change the earth's short term weather - Eventually the long-term climate patterns start to change - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more honeycomb cells happens, how will it affect more energy from the sun escapes. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

[A]: no

input: Please answer the following: Process: - Place the water in a pot - Cover the pot with a slightly too large cover - Place a larger pot under the first - Heat water to evaporation - Water vapor will collect on the lid - Drip into the second pot as fresh water - Salt is left behind in the original pot. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there will be more salty water happens, how will it affect LESS salt being removed from the water. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

output: yes

Please answer this: Process: - Owls have specially adapted eyes that see better at night - Owls sit at high points in trees and look around - When an owl spots a rodent they track it - When the rodent is standing still the owl swoops down - The owl grabs the rodent with their tallons - The owl uses their beak to eat the rodent. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose rodents have less hiding places happens, how will it affect more owls track rodents. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes

Problem: 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 less space available happens, how will it affect less electrical current occurs. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes

Problem: Given the question: Process: - Blood sugar levels increase after a meal - Cells in the pancreas release insulin - Insulin causes the body to absorb glucose from the blood - Blood sugar goes back to normal - Blood sugar is too low - The amount of insulin goes down - Cells in the pancreas release glucagon - The liver turns stored glycogen into glucose - The liver releases the glucose into the blood - Blood sugar goes back to normal. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose blood sugar will rise faster happens, how will it affect MORE regulation of blood sugar level being needed. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
yes

Problem: Process: - Acid rain makes waters acidic - Causes them to absorb aluminum from soil - The water runs off from the soil into lakes, streams, etc - Fish and their eggs die - Frogs and plants die - Insects and other wildlife die - The ecosystem is out of balance, causing further problems - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose weaker storms come through the area happens, how will it affect more water is infected from the soil. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A:
no
