The golden frog is on the edge of extinction because they are afflicted by a type of fungus which hampers their cardinal functions. Both the reading and the listening discuss this issue. The passage suggests three measures for saving the golden frog from the infection. The lecture, however, refutes the feasibility of the author’s solutions.
First, the passage states that scientists can inject the golden frog’s skin with a specific kind of bacterium which releases chemicals that exterminate the fungal cells. By doing so, they can preserve the golden frog by eliminating its infection to the fungus. Nonetheless, the lecturer opposes this solution by arguing that this approach has already been put into action for some of the frogs; although initially effective, the bacteria could produce the chemicals, which kill the fungus, only for a short amount of time after they have been injected into the frog’s skin. For this, introducing bacteria to the golden frog’s skin is not a permanent answer to the issue and cannot immune the frogs.
Second, according to the passage, another possible solution is fostering the golden frog in isolated environments where no traces of the fungus exist. By doing so, pure frogs with no fungus infections will be born and can be introduced to the wildlife. These free-fungus frogs can reproduce in nature and result in a healthy population. Nevertheless, the professor rejects this idea by saying that, in the natural world, these healthy frogs are highly at risk of infection since other animals, having the same illness, are afflicted by the fungus. Accordingly, they can contaminate the pure golden frogs.
Third, the passage goes on mention that some golden frogs have an innate resistance to the fungus. In other words, they reduce the rate of infection in their bodies, by enhancing their body temperature. If all golden frogs acquire this defense mechanism, they may become immune from the disease. The professor, on the other hand, disagrees with this idea by expressing that true, this natural defense keeps the golden frog safe from fungus infections, but this mechanism has several disadvantages. For diminishing the fungus affliction, the frogs should consume a great deal of energy to raise their body temperature. This excessive use of energy lessens their strength. Having said that they might be immune from the fungus, but they are not capable to survive other diseases. Consequently, this natural ability is not a good solution for protecting the golden frog.
