input question: Process: - Spores are dispersed into the air by a mature mushroom - The spores fall to the ground - The spores germinate - The spores begin to grow mycelium - The mycelium begin to sprout a bud - A new mushroom is formed. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose mushroms are small happens, how will it affect more spores fall to the ground. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: yes

Process: - A machine called a pulverizer grinds the coal into a fine powder - The coal powder mixes with hot air, which helps the coal burn more efficiently, and the mixture moves to the furnace - The burning coal heats water in a boiler, creating steam - Steam released from the boiler powers an engine called a turbine, transforming heat energy from burning coal into mechanical energy that spins the turbine engine - The spinning turbine is used to power a generator, a machine that turns mechanical energy into electric energy - This happens when magnets inside a copper coil in the generator spin - A condenser cools the steam moving through the turbine - As the steam is condensed, it turns back into water - The water returns to the boiler, and the cycle begins again - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose If there is a rain storm happens, how will it affect MORE coal arriving at the power station. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: no

Q: Process: - When water freezes it becomes 10% bigger, or takes up 10% more space - As water expands it puts great pressure on the walls of anything containing it, including any rocks which happen to be surrounding it - The force of the pressure exerted on the rock surrounding it is enough to wedge the walls of the crack farther apart, thus expanding and deepening the crack - Clay expends when wet like ice does - This causes rock to break apart - Some plants like mosses and lichens are capable of growing without soil on bare rock - When they do this their roots penetrate pores and crevices and cause rocks to split apart as the roots force their way down through the rocks - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the water pooled in smaller cracks and freezes more readily happens, how will it affect rocks break apart more slowly. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Question: Process: - Chemicals like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen are released into the air - These substances rise into the high atmosphere - They react with water and oxygen - This creates a more acidic rain - The rain with the high acid content falls. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more heat is drawn happens, how will it affect MORE damage by acid rain. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no

[Q]: Process: - Air is brought in through the mouth - Passes through the lungs - And into the bronchial tissue - The carbon dioxide is removed - The lungs bring the oxygen to the rest of the body. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there will be fewer mature mushrooms in the next cycle happens, how will it affect a GREATER amount of oxygen being delivered to the blood stream. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: no

Problem: Given the question: Process: - You breathe in - Air goes through all the little branches in your lungs to fill up the air sacs, or alveoli - Oxygen goes through the walls of the alveoli and into the capillaries - The oxygen goes into the bloodstream - Oxygen is left and carbon dioxide is picked up - You breathe it out through your lungs - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose cuts are made in other areas happens, how will it affect less air reaches the alveoli. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
