TPO43
The reading passage is about Agnosite that became extinct about 450 million years ago and provides three different theories about how agnosids may have lived. However, the professor contends that these theories have serious weaknesses and refutes each of them.
To begin with, the passage claims that the agnostids may have been free-swimming predators that hunted smaller animals. This is because other types of primitive anthropods were strong swimmers and active predators. The professor, on the contrary, believes that the primitive arthropods had large and well developed eyes, since they need a clear vision to track the organism to prey on. However, agnostids had tiny poor eyes and that’s why this theory is ruled out. Maybe they had some other special senses but there is no evidence about this.
Secondly, the writer suggests that agnostids may have dwelled on the seafloor, since there are examples of other types of primitive arthropods living this way. The professor, on the other hand, contradicts this by stating that sea floor dwellers don't have the ability to move fast. They just move slowly on the seafloor and usually occupy a small geoghrapic area. However, agnostids have inhabited in multiple and distant geographic spaces. This means that they were able to move from one place to another very fast. This activity would be very unusual for a seafloor dweller.
Finally, the author mentions that there is the possibility that the agnosids were parasites, living on and feeding off larger organisms. On the contrary, the professor rebuts this theory by pointing out that parasites don't have a large population and they stay in limited numbers. This is due to the fact that a large number of parasites would kill the host they are living on. The population of the agnosites was very large and as a result, the great size of these animal rules out this theory.
