Process:  - Animals eat a lot during good (warm, clear) weather - Animals gain weight - The season changes to one with bad (cold, snowy) weather - Animals find a place to hibernate - Animals enter a type of &#x27;sleep&#x27; (hibernation) - Body processes slow down - The animal&#x27;s heart rate and breathing rate slow - The animal loses weight more slowly than usual - The animal is able to survive not eating or drinking without hurting itself -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose animals will have less insects to eat happens, how will it affect HURTING the animal to hibernate properly.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer:
yes
