Problem: Process: - Owls hunt around their hunting territory away from where they roost during the day - They sit still on a perch, like a stump of branch, and wait for prey - They use their highly sensitive hearing to locate prey that cannot be seen - They use their very keen vision to see prey in the dark - They fly silently, without flapping their wings, in order to surprise the prey - The owl silently glides or drops on its prey, grabbing it with its talons and beak - The owl eats the prey, or carries it back to its perch - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less vegetable seeds planted to ground happens, how will it affect Owls flight is no accompanied by sound. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: no

Problem: Given the question: 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?

The answer is:
no

input question: Process: - Food enters the small intestine - The small intestine produces hormones - The hormones cause the pancreas to produce enzymes for digestion - The enzymes travel from the pancreas to the small intestine through tubes - The enzymes help the intestines digest the food - The pancreas produces the hormones insuline and glucagon - The hormones control the amount of sugar in the blood. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more food enters small intestine happens, how will it affect the pancreas working HARDER. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: yes

Process: - Food is put into mouth - Food is chewed and mixed with saliva (spit) - Food travels down the esophagus (throat) - Food travels into the stomach - Acid in the stomach breaks the food down further - Food travels into the small intestine - Nutrients from food are absorbed into the blood stream - Food travels into the large intestine - Most of the remaining material is now waste - The waste is eventually removed from the body. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose No food was consumed happens, how will it affect LESS food being digested. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
----
Answer: yes

Q: Process: - Plants start growing on or near the rocks - The roots of the growing plants start to break up the rock - The plant acids dissolve the rock - The rock is broken down into smaller pieces - Erosion begins. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose good weather favors plant growth happens, how will it affect Less plants grow on the rocks. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

[Q]: Process: - Water gets into cracks in rocks - The water freezes into ice - The cracks expand - Over time the rocks split - The rocks are now in smaller pieces. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less damage by acid rain occurs happens, how will it affect LESS or SLOWER weathering occurring. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
