Please answer this: Process:  - The organism must die to begin the process - The soft tissue decomposes - The bones are left behind - Scavengers tear the body apart and move the bones elsewhere - Wind and rain also scatter the bones further - The bones left behind will weather and become buried by sand and soil - The proteins in the bone are replaced with minerals that are dissolved in the soil - This creates a rock-like substance called a fossil - Water and wind erosion wear away the layers of soil on top of the fossil - This makes discovery of the fossil possible.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less minerals take over the bones happens, how will it affect Minerals are able to take over the bones.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes


Problem: Process:  - One type of air pollution is the addition of carbon dioxide gas into the air - Some scientists believe that releasing too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is one of the causes of global warming - This upsets the balance of the carbon cycle - The ozone layer helps protect us from harmful rays from the sun - It is getting damaged from air pollution such as methane gas from livestock and CFCs from spray cans - Acid rain is created when gasses such as sulfur dioxide get high into the atmosphere - The wind can blow these gasses for miles and then they get washed out of the air when it rains - This rain is called acid rain and can damage forests and kill fish.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less conservation occurs happens, how will it affect less bad effects of pollution.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes


Problem: Given the question: Process:  - Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through the stomates by diffusion - Water is transported to the leaves in the xylem - Energy harvested through light reaction is stored by forming ATP - Carbon dioxide and energy from ATP are used to create sugar - Oxygen exits the leaves through the stomata by diffusion - The plant reuses the water or the water exits through the stomata as water vapor.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose humans were unable to get oxygen from plants to produce carbon dioxide happens, how will it affect More carbon dioxide is released into the air.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

The answer is:
yes


input question: Process:  - Spores are dispersed into the air by a mature mushroom - The spores fall to the ground - The spores germinate - The spores begin to grow mycelium - The mycelium begin to sprout a bud - A new mushroom is formed.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the price of oil goes up happens, how will it affect more spores fall to the ground.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: no


Process:  - Coal is burned - Sulfur in the coal combines with oxygen to form sulfur oxides - The sulfur oxides are released into the atmosphere - The sulfides combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to form sulfur trioxide - The sulfur trioxide reacts with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, a very strong acid - The sulfuric acid makes the rain acidic -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is less coal available happens, how will it affect MORE acid rain.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
----
Answer: yes


Q: Process:  - The blood sugar drops in a body - Cells in the pancrease release glucagon - The liver in response turns the glucagon into glucose - And releases it into the blood - The blood sugar levels are restored.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose food is being thrown up happens, how will it affect LESS regulation of blood sugar level being needed.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A:
yes
