Process: - Air enters the nose or mouth and travels through the windpipe into the lungs - The lungs have a series of smaller and finer tubes and sacs - Air reaches the smallest and finest air sacs called alveoli - Oxygen travels from the alveoli into the blood - Oxygen-rich blood is carried to the heart - Oxygen-rich blood is pumped throughout the body by the heart - Cells take in the oxygen rich blood and release carbon dioxide rich blood - The carbon dioxide rich blood travels to the lungs - Carbon dioxide travels through the throat and is exhaled. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose resting or sleeping 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?

Answer: yes

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 person is vomiting from illness happens, how will it affect more fecal matter in large intestine. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Question: Process: - Gather the ingredients for the cake - Mix the flour, sugar, egg, and water to make batter - Pour the mixture into a cake pan - Place the cake in the oven to cook - Take the cake out when it is cooked through - Let the cake cool - Serve the cake - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less global warming happens, how will it affect a BIGGER cake. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no

[Q]: 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 owls drop in less silently happens, how will it affect HURTING owls to hunt at night. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes

input: Please answer the following: 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 the rock is located in a temperate climate that experiencs less freezing weather happens, how will it affect the rock will split sooner. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes

Process: - Water from the surface seeps below the soil - The water comes into contact with the rock below - The rock over the years carves through the rock - The space in the rock becomes larger and forms into a cave - As more rather rushes through the cave becomes a cavern. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more force available happens, how will it affect MORE or LARGER caverns. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
