input question: 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 a person is on more of a diet happens, how will it affect more food is being digested.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: yes

input question: Process:  - Particles in the environment interact with rocks - The particles remove small pieces of the rock each time they touch the rocks - The particles continue to hit, brush against, or grow against the rocks - The rock eventually is broken apart by this contact - The pieces of the rock are now small rocks - The rock pieces are worn away into smaller and smaller pieces by the same forces -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more sediment deposited by the wind happens, how will it affect less brushing of the rocks.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: no

input question: Process:  - Pollution enters natural water sources such as rivers and lakes - The pollution negatively affects the water quality - The pollution negatively affects the health of plants and animals - The plants and animals have shorter, less healthy lives - The plants and animals do not reproduce very well - The number of plants and animals decreases over time - The quality of water gets worse and worse as there are no plants or animals to clean it - Eventually there is nothing living in the water and it is unusable -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less days with freezing weather happens, how will it affect there will be fewer pollutants pumped into rivers.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: no

input question: 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 an owl is in a silent environment happens, how will it affect HURTING owls to hunt at night.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer:
yes
