The phrase "alters the response" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when discussing how a certain factor or variable changes or modifies a reaction or answer.
Example: "The new algorithm alters the response of the system to user inputs, making it more efficient."
Alternatives: "modifies the response" or "changes the response."
In this way, we were able to show that approximately 1000 Escherichia coli cells layered over an immobilised cluster of approximately 500 AHL responsive cells alters the response of this cluster to AHLs supplied either exogenously or endogenously.
The change in the bias also alters the response of the charge-magnetic flux plot.
These data support other data that prenatal protein malnutrition alters the response to stressful stimuli possibly through changes in the GABAergic and/or serotonergic systems.
This study demonstrates that passage number alters the response of chondrocytes to micrometric and nanometric topography, and could be important in ex vivo cartilage engineering.
Furthermore, a model of haemorrhage without significant additional tissue trauma is unlikely to validly predict the response to therapy in any clinical setting, as tissue injury alters the response to haemorrhage.
Animal and human studies have demonstrated that transient visual deprivation early in life, even for a very short period, permanently alters the response properties of neurons in the visual cortex and leads to corresponding behavioral visual deficits [1 7].
Even the suppression of a dissipation mode (collisional or frictional) is unable to alter the response.
Thus, the method of presentation of stimuli used to evaluate comfort while standing altered the response.
Changes to the network structure alter the response to shock loading.
However, during an intense seismic event, nonlinear soil-structure interactions (SSI) may alter the response of the aqueduct significantly.
The four variables were found to be significant in altering the response variable (accumulated loss of mass).
