Process: - Sediment settles in a place due to gravity - The sediment breaks down into small particles - Wind or water picks up the sediment - The sediment travels along the same route as the wind or water - The sediment is deposited at new locations by the wind or water - The sediment is picked up again by new wind or water - The sediment travels further - The sediment is deposited again in a new place. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose If the mass of earth increases happens, how will it affect LESS sediment being transported. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes

Q: 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 there is a population crisis which makes people want to have more babies happens, how will it affect LESS sugar and oxygen being produced. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: no

Question: Process: - Electrical signals in the brain travel through nerves to muscles - Two types of proteins exist in filaments in the muscles - The filaments move when the brain instructs them to - The motion of the filaments cause the muscle to shorten and contract - Opposing pairs of muscles exist in order to provide the necessary range of motion. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose circuit not completing happens, how will it affect muscles contracting LESS INTENSELY. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no

[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 food had interacted well with saliva happens, how will it affect MORE food being digested. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes

input: Please answer the following: Process: - Boil salt water - The water will turn into water vapor - Collect the water vapor - Allow the water vapor to cool - The water vapor will turn into liquid water - The salt will be separated from the water. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is less salt happens, how will it affect the water vapor will cool less. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes

Process: - Contact is made with a virus - The virus enters the human or animal body - The virus goes to the part of the body that contains its food - The virus consumes part of the body or materials that the body uses - The virus replicates and spreads - The virus causes symptoms in the body as the immune system tries to expel the virus. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a person has an immunity deficieny happens, how will it affect a person has a stronger immune system. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
