TPO-45 - Integrated Writing Task Any student of paleontology will be struck by the fact that a great many animals of the past were considerably larger than they are today. This holds true for species ranging from dinosaurs to most mammals. Just why they w

The article discusses the intersting topic that why many animals of the past were considerably larger than they are at present. However, the lecture in the audio refutes the reasons given in the reading passage in support of the fact. The article uses three main factors in support of the answer.

First, high oxygen level in the earth's environment. The article states that large amount of oxygen supply in the earth's environment stimulated the growth of species. Secondly, abundant food supply, it states that past earth's environment being rich in nutrients and plant life encouraged the growth within the body of species. Thirdly, warm weather of earth, supports the idea that since, earth temperature was warm, animals could use energy to produce growth generating cells instead of keeping body warm.

However, the lecture falsifies and disagrees with relating species growth to any of the supporting reasons. According to audio, earth's environment in the past was more prone and active in volcanic activities which in turn resulted in the release of harmful and poisonous gases in the atmosphere and less oxygen. On the account of second refuted reason, the scientists have found many fossils with scarce nutrients and more carbon dioxide. Lastly, large bodies need more warmth than smaller ones and in order to maintain and balance body temperature with the environment they had to utilise energy, which denies the fact of utilising body energy to produce species growth cells in the body.

All these factors points that the large size of animals in the past has nothing in common with the supporting details. Thereby, completely denied of fact. Therefore pointing to the fact that the hypothesis in the article has no valid reasons to support the main idea of the topic.
