TPO43
The professor revises the idea presented in the text about the three theories that explain the way agnostids used to live and refutes each of the points made in the passage.
First of all, the reading passage proposes that the agnostids were free-swimming predators due to the fact that the other arthropods were good swimmers, too. The professor rejects this idea by explaining that these predators need large well-developed eyes to find and follow their preys. Agnostids, actually, had tiny poorly-developed eyes. Some of them were even blind. Thus, in order to be able to be a strong swimmer, agnostids needed other special sensational abilities, which have not been found in their fossils. So, the first theory has some deficiencies regarding the purpose of the passage.
Secondly, the professor’s opinion contradicts the second theory that says agnostids lived on the seafloor and ate dead organisms and bacteria. According to the professor, the seafloor dwellers do not have the ability to move fast. However, the fossils of agnostids have been discovered in different small geographic areas, far from each other. Thus, the agnostids were able to move fast over long distances. Therefore, this theory does not seem to be a good response to the main question of the passage.
Finally, the reading suggests that the agnostids were parasites living on larger organisms. The professor disagrees with this theory. He states that the population of the parasite is not usually large because they kill off the host organisms. On the other hand, research has shown that the population of the agnostids was extremely large. Thus, the third theory is not convincing, too.
