Process:  - Bacteria enter the body - Bacteria start to divide and grow - The uncontrolled growth takes away resources from other cells - Other cells cannot function properly - We feel unwell - The growth and division of bacteria produce toxins - Toxins harm the body - The body tries to react to the toxins - The body&#x27;s natural defenses can sometimes cause us to feel unwell.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less bacteria enters the body happens, how will it affect the person will be more ill.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: 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 fewer eggs will be laid happens, how will it affect MORE food being digested.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no

Process:  - Rinse the dishes before placing them in a dishwasher - Load glasses and plastic wear on the top rack - Put plates, bowls, pots, and pans on the bottom rack - Place all the utensils in the utensil basket - Put detergent into the detergent holder - Close the door and push the start button -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the detergent is more efficient happens, how will it affect HELPING the dishwasher to clean better.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

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 there is less stomach acid happens, how will it affect nutrients are destroyed.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Ans: yes
