agnostids
Both the author and the lecturer discuss different theories about how agnostids may have lived. The passage claims that there are several different theories about agnostids living. The professor, on the other hand, cast doubt on the authenticity of theories mentioned in the reading through citing three reasons. First, both the author and the professor talk about possibility of being free-swimming predators. According to the passage, the agnostids may have been free-swimming predators that hunted smaller animals. The lecturer, nevertheless, rejects author's view and illustrates the idea that predators need large eyes and strong vision, but according to the fossil records, agnostids have had tiny eyes or even they have been blind. Second of all, both the reading and the lecture discuss prone of being seafloor dwellers. The author argues that they may have dwelled on the seafloor and they would have survived by scavenging dead organisms or by grazing on bacteria. However, the professor refutes this, saying that dwellers usually are not fast and they are not able to get far away from specific area, but agnostids have lived in multiple areas and they were capable of moving from one place to another pretty fast. Eventually, the passage and the lecture address the subject of being parasites. The passage goes on to mention that there is a possibility that the agnostids would have been parasites, living on and feeding off larger organism. In contrast, the professor points out that parasites usually have small population, but agnostids have had great size population, so they could not be parasites.
All in all, the author maintains that divers theories could explain shape of agnostids life, while the professor not only cast doubt on it, but she also demonstrates that these theories has serious weaknesses.
