[Q]: Process: - Blood sugar levels increase after a meal - Cells in the pancreas release insulin - Insulin causes the body to absorb glucose from the blood - Blood sugar goes back to normal - Blood sugar is too low - The amount of insulin goes down - Cells in the pancreas release glucagon - The liver turns stored glycogen into glucose - The liver releases the glucose into the blood - Blood sugar goes back to normal. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is less cloud cover happens, how will it affect less food is being eaten. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: no

input: Please answer the following: Process: - A plant dies - The remains of the plant are buried very fast in sediment - The soft parts of the plant decay - The hard parts of the plant are replaced with minerals - The sediment turns into rock - The rock erodes - The fossil appears on the surface of the ground. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the process is disturbed by wind or flood and the minerals are washed away happens, how will it affect MORE fossils forming. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

output: yes

Please answer this: Process: - A forest fire starts - The trees and plants burn - The animals lose their homes - If the animals can not escape, they may die from smoke inhalation - The plants that provide food are gone - The animals have little to eat - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose animals will have much less to eat happens, how will it affect a SMALLER negative effect on animals. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes

Problem: Process: - A butterfly lays an egg - A larvae matures inside of the egg - The caterpillar hatches from the egg - The caterpillar eats and grows - The caterpillar spins a coccoon around itself and forms into a pupa - The butterfly forms inside of the coccoon - The mature butterfly emerges from the coccoon - The butterfly mates - The female butterfly lays eggs. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose Less butterflies emerge from cocoons happens, how will it affect MORE butterflies. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes

Problem: Given the question: Process: - The salt water is heated - As the saltwater is heated the water becomes a gas - The salt particles sink to the bottom of the container - Gaseous water is piped into another container - Allowed to cool - The salt particles are left behind in the first container - The second container contains fresh water. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a smaller container is used to heat the water 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?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The answer is:
yes

Problem: Process: - You breathe oxygen into your body through the nose or mouth - The oxygen travels to the lungs through the windpipe - The air sacs in the lungs send the oxygen into the blood stream - The carbon dioxide in the blood stream is transferred to the air sacs - The lungs expel through the nose or mouth back into the environment. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less acid dissolves nutrients happens, how will it affect less carbon dioxide will be transferred to the air sacs. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A:
no
