Process: - Networks of trees start forming - The trees die off - The dead material provides nutrients for more trees - The rising trees provide shelter - And more organisms begin to thrive - The ecosystem known as a forest is made. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the lungs are not functioning correctly happens, how will it affect more dead material provides nutrients. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no

Process: - Chloroplasts in the leaf of the plant traps light from the sun - The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil - This combination of water and minerals flows from the stem into the leaf - Carbon dioxide enters the leaf - Light, water and minerals, and the carbon dioxide all mix together - This mixture forms sugar (glucose) which is what the plant eats - Oxygen goes out of the leaf through the stomata - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose You get more regular medical check ups happens, how will it affect MORE sugar and oxygen being produced. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no

Process: - A butterfly starts as an egg - The egg hatches - A larva emerges - The larva eats and grows - The larva sheds its skin - The larva enters a chrysalis - The pupa grows inside the chrysalis - The adult butterfly exits the chrysalis - The adult butterfly is now fully grown - The adult butterfly lays more eggs. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more oxygen being delivered to the blood stream happens, how will it affect MORE butterflies. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no

Process: - Living organisms in the sea die - The matter forms on the sea floor - Layers of sediment form above the matter compressing it - After many years the matter is compressed and heated - The result is that crude oil forms. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose weak small breaths happens, how will it affect less matter to compress and heat. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no
