TPO 43
Both the reading and the lecture discuss whether agnostids are primitive arthropods-relatives of modern-day insect. The reading implies that agnostids are relatives of modern-day insect based on three theories. However, the professor strongly disagrees with the reading. Accordingly, she gave three refutations.
First, the reading passage mentions that agnostids may have been free-swimming predators. Yet, the lecturer severely contradicts this statement by arguing that agnostids had undeveloped eyes. In fact, the free-swimming predators rely on eyes to catch preys, but agnostids were almost blind. Moreover, if agnostids were predators, they might have had some special organs to help them catch preys. However, they did not have any special organs. As a result, agnostids were not free-swimming predators.
Secondly, the passage suggests that agnostids may have dwelled on the seafloor. Nevertheless, the scholar seriously challenges this hypothesis by contending that animals living on the seafloor always do not have the ability to move fast. Furthermore, the animals living in the seafloor usually stay at same places. Actually, agnostids lived in multiple areas, which means that they can easily move from one place to another. Hence, agnostics may not have dwelled on the seafloor.
Last but not least, the reading indicates that there are many species of modern-day arthropods existing as parasites. Once again, the speaker opposes this theory that the population of the parasites is always small so they will not kill all preys. Nevertheless, the population of the agnostics is very big. In other words, the third theory is not convincing at all.
In conclusion, the professor argues against each theory in the reading passage. That is to say, she maintains that agnostics are not the primitive arthropods-relatives.
