Process:  - Chloroplasts in the leaf of the plant traps light from the sun - The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil - This combination of water and minerals flows from the stem into the leaf - Carbon dioxide enters the leaf - Light, water and minerals, and the carbon dioxide all mix together - This mixture forms sugar (glucose) which is what the plant eats - Oxygen goes out of the leaf through the stomata -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose I have air scrubbers happens, how will it affect MORE sugar and oxygen being produced.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

Process:  - An animal eats a lot of food to fatten up - The animal finds or builds a suitable place to hibernate where they can stay warm and protected - The animal moves into their den - Their heart rate and breathing slow down to conserve energy - They emerge from the den when the weather is warming up again.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more food available happens, how will it affect the animal does not fatten up.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no

Process:  - You place aluminum cans and other products into recycling bins - Your town or a private company collect and transport the aluminum to a recycling facility - The aluminum is sorted and cleaned at the central recycling facility - The aluminum is melted down to remove coatings and inks - The melted aluminum is formed into large formations called ingots - The ingots are transported to another facility and rolled out to make them easier to manipulate - The ingots can now be turned into new aluminum products.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there will be more waste happens, how will it affect LESS aluminum cans being recycled.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

Process:  - Several types of gases form in the atmosphere - May come from different sources - The gases remain trapped in the atmosphere - Through the suns light the gases hold in heat and energy - Trap them in our atmosphere - The earth may become warmer this way.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there are less gasses being emitted happens, how will it affect more gases trap the heat and energy.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Ans: yes
