Process: - The kidneys receive blood from the renal artery - They process it with millions of tiny nephrons - Remove all the waste - The kidneys return the blood back to the body through the renal artery - Send the urine with the waste to the bladder through the ureters. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose "the kidneys go through dialysis" happens, how will it affect LESS waste being removed from the body. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

Process: - A sperm meets an egg in the uterus of a woman - The sperm implants itself into the egg - The sperm and egg form a zygote on the wall of the uterus - The fetus grows and develops - The woman gives birth to a baby - The baby is raised by parents until it is able to take care of itself - The person goes out into the world and finds a job - The person meets other people and has a life - The person gets a career, and gets married - The person retires and eventually passes away - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less eggs are in a uterus happens, how will it affect MORE babies. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

Process: - To bake a cake you first need to gather your ingredients - Preheat the oven to desired baking temperature - Grease your preferred cake pan with crisco or butter or other non-stick spray - Add eggs and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients - Stir or whisk until all the dry flour has been absorbed - Pour the batter into the greased cake pan - Place cake pan into the oven for the required time - When a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, the cake is done baking - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose I ate many vegtables happens, how will it affect a smaller quantity of butter is used. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no

Process: - Greenhouse gases are released into the air by human activities - The earth changes energy from the sun into heat - Heat rises from the ground - Greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere prevent the heat from going into space - The temperature of the earth increases - The temperature continues to rise and melts the polar ice caps - The temperature rises even faster. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose new regulation forces old polluting cars to be scrapped happens, how will it affect Polar ice caps are getting bigger. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes
