Q: Process:  - The nuclei of some atoms have too few or too many neutrons - The atoms become unstable - The atoms split - In alpha decay, two protons and two neutrons are released from the atom - In beta decay, a neutron changes into a proton and an electron - The proton joins the nucleus of the atom - The electron is released -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose "if atoms arent affected" happens, how will it affect the radioactivity level will increase.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process:  - Bread is exposed to the elements - Bread absorbs water from the air - Bread absorbs warmth from the air - Dust particles with mold spores fall on bread - Mold spores start to consume the bread for energy - Mold colonies grow until they are visible.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose rivers might be cleaner happens, how will it affect MORE mold forming on bread.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: no

Q: Process:  - Fluid - Waste enters the kidneys - A processing moment in the kidneys let waste and fluid pass - Prevents larger molecules to pass - Fluid goes back to the bloodstream - Bad waste is removed - The final product is turned into urine.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose if the molecules are too large happens, how will it affect Fluids are filtered in a proper way.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process:  - Magma rises through cracks in the Earth&#x27;s crust - The pressure causes plates to move - Magma explodes to the surface - The lava from the eruption cools to form new crust - After several eruptions, the rock builds up and a volcano forms -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the earths core gets hotter happens, how will it affect MORE or GREATER eruptions.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A:
yes
