TPO-43 - Integrated Writing Task
Agnostids were a group of marine animals that became extinct about 450 million years ago. Agnostid fossils can be found in rocks in many areas around the world. From the fossil remains, we know that agnostids were primitive arthropods-relatives of modern-day insects. However, the fossil information does not allow paleontologists to determine with certainty what agnostids ate or how they behaved. There are several different theories about how agnostids may have lived.
Free-Swimming Predators
First, the agnostids may have been free-swimming predators that hunted smaller animals. It is known that other types of primitive arthropods were strong swimmers and active predators, so it is reasonable that the agnostids may have lived that way as well And while the agnostids were small, sometimes just six millimeters long, there were plenty of smaller organisms in the ancient ocean for them to prey on.
Seafloor Dwellers
Second, they may have dwelled on the seafloor. Again, there are examples of other types of primitive arthropods living this way, so it is possible that agnostids did too. On the seafloor they would have survived by scavenging dead organisms or by grazing on bacteria.
Parasites
Third, there is the possibility that the agnostids were parasites, living on and feeding off larger organisms. One reason that this seems possible is that there are many species of modern-day arthropods that exist as parasites, such as fleas, ticks, and mites. The agnostids might have lived on primitive fish or even on other, larger arthropods.
Agnostids, a group of animal which has been extinct approximately about 450 million years ago, is the topic of both reading and lecture. While the writer suggests some theories of how these animals lived, the lecturer will make some arguments about how this assumptions and theories are not correct, which will be described hereunder.
First, the writer asserts that due to the similarity between the primitive arthropods which were excellent swimmers and active predators, agnostids are believed to be free-swimming predators. Which can be an inference that they could have eaten small organisms that inhabited in an ocean. On the contrary, the professor conduct with the idea, owing to predators in open oceans should have well-developed eyes while these animals have had small, tiny eyes and even some of them were blind. Moreover, she believes that for being a predator some other sense should have developed which there isn't such a kind of sense being observed in these animals.
Second, the reading makes some assertion about they may have been seafloor dwellers because of the same reasoning about likening among them and the primitive ones. Also that they could have survived by eating dead organisms or by gazing on bacteria. On the other side, the professor claims that for such a characteristics they should have been located in small regions, but the piece of evidence shows the opposite one by finding documents that they were scattered through several lakes and oceans.
Utterly, the reading claims that they were parasites which can be concluded that they lived on larger organism. This claim has been made due to some modern arthropods namely , fleas and tricks which live this way. On the other hand, the lecturer firmly believes that such a animals should live in small population while there has been some discovering so many fossils were occupied a small location.
