Process: - Skin is cut or damaged - Bacteria enters through the wound - The bacteria reproduces and spreads - Causes symptoms - The bacteria is either fought off or becomes a disease. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the wound is not properly cared for happens, how will it affect More bacteria will enter the wound. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes

Q: Process: - The nuclei of some atoms have too few or too many neutrons - The atoms become unstable - The atoms split - In alpha decay, two protons and two neutrons are released from the atom - In beta decay, a neutron changes into a proton and an electron - The proton joins the nucleus of the atom - The electron is released - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more oxygen reaches the lungs happens, how will it affect MORE radioactive decay occurring. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: no

Question: Process: - Sediment becomes loose from the rest of the soil - The sediment rolls down hill towards a river - The heavy items sink to the bottom - The lighter items float on the top and in convection cycles - As the river flows the sediment is moved - The sediment gets dumped through tributaries into lakes and the ocean - The sediment keeps moving around the world in convection currents. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the river flows stronger happens, how will it affect MORE sediment being transported. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes

[Q]: Process: - Open the Dishwasher - Slide out the bottom rack - Take a dirty plate - Rinse the plate - Place the dish in the rack - Repeat leaving enough space for water to reach all items - Fill the soap cup - Turn on the dishwasher. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the dishes had not been done for a long time happens, how will it affect there are fewer dishes. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes

input: Please answer the following: Process: - A star burns in space - Eventually it burns all its hydrogen - Becomes a red giant - Once the red giant burns itself out - The core of the star collapses - The gasses will start to disperse - Only the core is left - A white dwarf has been formed. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the star is young happens, how will it affect the star is larger. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes

Process: - You breathe air in - Air enters bronchial tubes - Air is then split into the bronchioles of each lung - Bronchioles have alveoli which are tiny air sacs - Alveoli is surrounded by many small blood vessels - Oxygen passes through alveoli into blood vessels - Blood leaves the lungs as it travels through the body - Blood carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs - Carbon dioxide released when you exhale. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the lung is unhealthy happens, how will it affect air is inhaled through the lung. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
