Process:  - The liver filters blood from the digestive tract - The liver produces bile - The liver produces proteins for blood plasma - The liver converts excess glucose into glycogen for storage - The liver converts ammonia to urea - The liver regulates blood clotting.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is no blood in the body happens, how will it affect the liver having to work SOFTER.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
----
Answer: yes


Q: Process:  - Human industry produces chemical compounds - Chemical compounds rise into the air - Chemical compounds mix with elements in clouds - The affected rain falls to the earth - The affected rain can harm natural and man-made objects because of its acidic content.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose humans build more factories and plants happens, how will it affect MORE damage by acid rain.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes


Question: Process:  - You breathe in - Air goes through all the little branches in your lungs to fill up the air sacs, or alveoli - Oxygen goes through the walls of the alveoli and into the capillaries - The oxygen goes into the bloodstream - Oxygen is left and carbon dioxide is picked up - You breathe it out through your lungs -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is less rain happens, how will it affect less oxygen can go into the bloodstream.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no


[Q]: Process:  - A virus enters a host body - The virus has receptors that lock onto a target cell - The virus enters the cell - The virus uses the cell like a factory to make new copies of the virus - The new copies of the virus leave the cell - Infect other cells - The host gets sick as its cells are damaged.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more ice cube trays are used happens, how will it affect a SMALLER spread of the virus.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: no


input: Please answer the following: Process:  - Magma cools inside the crust - Magma crystalizes - Lava cools on the surface - Lava crystalizes - Minerals dissolved in water crystlize.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more minerals will form happens, how will it affect LESS minerals forming.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes


Process:  - Carbon dioxide from the air passes through small pores (holes) in the leaves - These pores are called stomata - Water is absorbed by the roots - It passes through vessels in the stem on its way to the leaves - Sunlight is absorbed by a green chemical in the leaves.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less water is absorbed by the plant happens, how will it affect LESS sugar and oxygen being produced.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
