Agnostids
In the lecture the professor made several points about Agnostids living. The professor argues that Agnostids would not be a predator, seafloor dweller and parasite. The professor’s lecture casts doubt on the reading by using the following reasons.
First, the professor states that large eye and well-developed eye ability is a contributory factor to be a predator. In fact, other predator in open ocean have a great eyesight capacity that assist them to attract the pray. But, Agnostids are blind and have a poor eye vision and as a result they probably could not be a predator. In addition, the professor highlights that they should have a particular sense organ to make them a predator but no special organ have been observed in the fossil records. In contrast, the reading makes it clear that they would be a hunter of smaller animals.
Second the professor describes that, seafloor dwellers are not able to move fast and far. Consequently, they move slowly and stay in their local area in particular in their original region and occupy the small area. The professor adds that, Agnostids seems not to be a sea dweller since they can move fast and spread in large distances. On the contrary, the professor specifies that, they are more likely to be a seafloor settler.
Third, the professor clarifies that, population of parasite constrain a small range in order to be killed by other organism. Indeed, Agnostids could not be a parasite since the great size population. On the other hand, the reading mentions that Agnostids were potentially parasite.
In conclusion, the points made in the lecture refute the hypothesis of the reading passage. Above reasons demonstrates that contributing Agnostids to predator, parasites and seafloor dweller is in doubt.
