Question: Process:  - People separate different materials to be recycled - The recyclable materials go to a recycling center - The recycling center further separates the materials - Large equipment compacts the materials into bales - The recyclable materials are shipped to other recycling centers - The other recycling centers further process the materials that center specializes in - The materials are purchased by manufacturers - The manufacturers process the recycled materials the same way they would use new materials - The recycled materials are incorporated into new products.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there are more landfill sites created happens, how will it affect fewer people are inclined to recycle.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes

Question: 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 a person is binge eating happens, how will it affect more food will travel to the small intestine.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes

Question: 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 more fecal matter in large intestine happens, how will it affect MORE food being digested.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer:
yes
