TPO-47 - Integrated Writing Task
Pterosaurs were an ancient group of winged reptiles that lived alongside the dinosaurs. Many pterosaurs were very large, some as large as a giraffe and with a wingspan of over 12 meters. Paleontologists have long wondered whether large pterosaurs were capable of powered flight (flying by flapping their wings) or whether they were able only to glide. Several arguments have been made against powered flight.
Doubters point out that since modern reptiles are cold-blooded, ancient reptiles such as pterosaurs were probably cold-blooded as well. Cold-blooded animals typically have a slow metabolism and are unable to produce a lot of energy. Powered flight is an activity requiring a lot of energy, which is why all modern vertebrates that fly are warm-blooded, not cold-blooded. It seemed unlikely that pterosaurs would have been able to generate the energy needed to fly.
Second, there is a limit to the weight of animals that can be kept airborne by powered flight. Pterosaurs that were as large as a giraffe were probably so heavy that they would not have been able to flap their wings fast enough to stay aloft for any length of time.
Third, all animals with powered flight are able to take off from the ground. For example, birds take off by jumping from their legs or running to gain speed and then jumping. But these methods would not have worked for large pterosaurs. Large pterosaurs would have needed big, powerful muscles in their back legs to launch themselves into the air, and we know from fossilized bones that their back leg muscles were too small and weak to allow the pterosaurs to run fast enough or jump high enough to launch themselves into the air.
The essay generally gives the idea that pterosaurs-which were an acient group of winged reptiles, were unable to fly for three main reason.on the other hand the professor decline all three ones by explaning the recent research and chalenging the ideas which the reading was based on.
First, the reading acclaim that pterosaurs were cold-blooded like the modern reptiles so they couldn't provide the energy they needed to flieght upwards which is also the reason why all modern wvertebrates are warm-blooded.on the other side the professor assert that currently it was discoverd that this animals have dense hair covering,something like fur, as the warm-blood animals so the assertion of reading would be ungrounded and therefore rejected and they will have enough metabolism and energy to fly.
Secound,the reading suggest that due to this creatures heavy weight, that were as big as a giraffe, they could not kept them selves airborne by powered flight .while the lecturer said that their body is compose of unsually light weighted matrials and their bones are hollow instead of solid; Thus, they were light enough to fly and keep themself airbones.
Utterly, the reading believes that these beast couldn't take off like birds, for their flight inititations because for taking off they need to have enough speed then jump which their feet weren't capable of taking of due to their week muscles in the back of their legs, but the profesoor claims that it is not genuine to compare two uncomparable animals with each other birds and ptersaurs becuase birds have two legs for tajing off on them while ptresaurs have for legs which gives them the power to takes of easily and have the right speed for initiating a flight.
