pterosaurs
The main idea of both the passage and the lecture is about whether pterosaurs are capable of powered flight or they are just capable of glide. Considering this, the author states several arguments against powered flight idea .The professor, on the other hand, thinks pterosaurs are capable of powered flight. She categorically denies three mentioned arguments and categorically denies whatever mentioned in the reading through citing each argument's downsides.
First of all, According to the passage, since pterosaurs re cold-blooded animals, they cannot afford the required energy of powered flight by their metabolisms. The lecturer, nevertheless, dismisses the author's view and points out that discoveries recently show that pterosaurs covered with hairs and furs which are like the covering of warm-blooded animals. She notes that warm-blooded animals need to maintain their body temperature in order to do the activities which requires a lot of energy. As a result, these same metabolisms of pterosaurs and warm-blooded animals demonstrate that it is not hard for them to produce the required energy of powered flight.
Second, the passage goes on to mention that since pterosaurs are mostly heavy, they are not able to flap their wings and make powered flight. Nonetheless, the lecturer supports a contradictory view as compared to that presented in the reading. She persists that pterosaurs are unusually light since their bones are hollowed instead of solid. Moreover, she asserts that because of these hollowed bones pterosaurs weigh low enough to have powered flight.
Eventually, the author states that since pterosaurs' bones and muscles are weak and small, they cannot run fast enough to jump high and lunch into air. However, the speaker refutes this idea, pointing out important differences between birds and pterosaurs. She adds that the two light legs of birds are not for walking on the ground and with them birds can readily launch. Additionally, she indicates that pterosaurs use all their four legs for pushing of ground not just for taking off.
