Life on Mars
Both the reading passage and the lecture discuss the possibility of life on Mars. The author of the passage argues that there is life on Mars while the lecturer opposes the author's opinion.
First, the reading passage claims that there is life on Mars because of the abundant amount of methane that has been found on Mars. In fact, the author believes that the presence of methane suggests that some living methanogens live on Mars. The professor counters this claim by arguing that the presence of methonagens does not prove the existence of Methane. She suggested that volcanic eruptions on Mars explain the presence of methane.
Second, the author states that the composition of a Marsian meteorite discovered in Antartica shows that it contains pure crystal of compound magnetite. This evidence suggests the presence of bacteria on Mars where the meteorite comes from. The professor counterargues this argument by pointing the fact that the meteorite reached Antartica 13000 years ago. Thus, it has been exposed to Earth's bacteria, which explains the presence of bacteria. As a result, the magnetite crystal does not indicate the presence of bacteria on Mars.
Third, the passage claims that NASA observed hydrogen on Mars in 2001, and it suggested the presence of liquid water on Mars. The professor disagrees with the finding by saying that the observation of hydrogen on Mars suggests the presence of Ice instead of water.
