Problem: Process:  - Adult mushrooms produce spores - Release them into the air by process of sporulation - Spores are carried by the wind - Land in a hospitable growing environment - The spores germinate into the soil - The mushroom starts growing - The adult mushroom produce spores of its own to repeat the process.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose mushrooms find a proper environment happens, how will it affect MORE or LARGER mushrooms.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes


Problem: Process:  - There are places inside Earth where rock will melt - Melted rock inside the Earth is also called molten rock, or magma - Magma moves up through Earth&#x27;s crust, but it does not always reach the surface - When magma erupts onto Earth&#x27;s surface, it is known as lava - As lava flows from volcanoes it starts to cool - Minerals form when magma and lava cool -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there was no volcano eruption happens, how will it affect LESS minerals forming.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes


Problem: Process:  - Cold water taken in through a hose to the bottom - Heating element heats water - Pump forces water up in pipes connected to spinning paddles - The forced water makes paddles spin like a sprinkler - Water comes out of small holes in paddles - Water is collected and used again until dishes are clean - Water is drained through a filter - Filter collects particles of food - Water was so hot that it evaporates for dry dishes.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the plant get's less light happens, how will it affect more holes in paddles available.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: no


Problem: Process:  - The nuclei of some atoms have too few or too many neutrons - The atoms become unstable - The atoms split - In alpha decay, two protons and two neutrons are released from the atom - In beta decay, a neutron changes into a proton and an electron - The proton joins the nucleus of the atom - The electron is released -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more glucose is produced happens, how will it affect MORE radioactive decay occurring.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A:
