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

Both the passage and the lecture relate to theory about the existence of bees on earth as early as 200 million years ago. On the one hand, the passage mentions three reasons opposing this theory, while the lecture refutes all these reasons by saying that the skeptics' arguments are not convincing.

First of all, the passage states that the fossil of the earliest preserved body of a bee date to 100 million years ago. In contrast, the lecture disagrees with this opinion by saying that the bees could not be preserved as fossil at that time. Since there were no trees to produce resin which is a type of sticky liquid at that period. The trees were common later.

In addition, the passage goes on to say that bees depended on flowering plants as source of food while flowering plants did not exist in that period. However, the lecture emphasizes that the bees might be feed on non-flowering plants that have existed before flowering plants.

Last but not least, the passage asserts that the structures of the chamber nest that was found is different from the modern bees' nest chambers. In fact, this difference explains that early structures were created by other insects not bees. Conversely, the lecture disputes this point by claiming that both structure have used the same water proofing material. This fact holds that the early structures certainly were made by bees.
