Q: Process:  - Your thermostat senses that the room temperature has fallen below your thermostat setting - Your thermostat sends a signal to your heating system to provide heat for your home - When your oil burner is engaged, heating oil travels from the tank to the burner by way of a pump - Here the oil becomes a fine mist mixed with air - The fuel/air mixture is then injected into the burner where it is ignited in the combustion chamber - The warm air is disbursed through vents, hot water through baseboards, or by steam radiators -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose "Its a warm winter" happens, how will it affect Less oil becomes a fine mist mixed with air.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes


Question: Process:  - Rain falls on wood - The rain seeps into the wood surface - It permeates the wood - When rain evaporates it leaves the wood - It takes the finish of the wood with it - The wood begins to lose it's luster - It begins to look bad - It has pieces of paint missing from the rain - It gets worse when it rains - It eventually will have no paint left.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose grass will grow faster happens, how will it affect MORE/FASTER weathering occurring.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes


[Q]: 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 Glaciers get melted happens, how will it affect more saliva amylase.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: no


input: Please answer the following: Process:  - Blood carried into kidney by the renal artery - Nephrons in the kidney filter the blood - The waste that is filtered out mixes with water - Become urine - Ureters carry urine out of the kidneys.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose "kidneys go through dialysis" happens, how will it affect MORE waste being removed from the body.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes


Please answer this: Process:  - Networks of trees start forming - The trees die off - The dead material provides nutrients for more trees - The rising trees provide shelter - And more organisms begin to thrive - The ecosystem known as a forest is made.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is more acid rain happens, how will it affect MORE forest formation.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++
Answer: no
