input question: 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 less salt water is boiled happens, how will it affect LESS salt being removed from the water. 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 less plant die happens, how will it affect more nutrients remain in the waste. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Q: Process: - Some of the rock in the ground is made of limestone - Over long periods of time rain can hit the limestone - And cause a acidic reaction - The limestone will slowly disintegrate - A large gap with be where the limestone was - Result in the cave. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less sediment gets dumped into lakes happens, how will it affect MORE or LARGER caverns. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: no

Question: Process: - Owls have specially adapted eyes that see better at night - Owls sit at high points in trees and look around - When an owl spots a rodent they track it - When the rodent is standing still the owl swoops down - The owl grabs the rodent with their tallons - The owl uses their beak to eat the rodent. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose gas condenses back into water happens, how will it affect HELPING owls to hunt at night. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no

[Q]: Process: - The flu virus has receptors, which are like viral Velcro, on the surface of the virus particle - The receptors will lock onto a target cell using these chemical receptors on the surface, which docks onto the cell surface - The receptors then go into the cell - The receptors use it like a factory - The receptors take it over and make it produce thousands or in some cases millions of copies of new viruses - The copies come streaming out of the cell - The copies infect other cells to make more viruses, or they escape from the body and infect a new victim - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is no way for the virus to spread happens, how will it affect the person is infected with virus. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
