Q: Process:  - A person eats food - The person's blood sugar level rises - The pancreas receives a signal to release insulin - Insulin is released into the bloodstream - Insulin signals cells to absorb sugar - The cells absorb sugar from the bloodstream - The cells use the sugar as energy.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose eating the right foods happens, how will it affect A person eats more  high sugar food.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: 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 many workers go out on strike 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

Q: Process:  - Someone is infected with bacteria - That bacteria begins to grow and reproduce inside the cells - The dividing bacteria begin to make toxins - Those toxins damage your cells - Disease symptoms may begin.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the person will become more ill happens, how will it affect LESS SEVERE disease occurring.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

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 power stroke will push piston happens, how will it affect LESS heat for the house.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A:
