Answer:

The Archaeopteryx and bird have wings, while dinosaurs have limbs. This fact does give us an indication that  Archaeopteryx could have been the first bird.

Explanation: While a lot of people consider it as the first bird, paleontologists do not agree with this stance. The discovery of several Archaeopteryx fossils has revealed that although the creature had wings, most of its features were distinctively reptilian. For example, the presence of a full set of teeth. Also, the formation of its wings reveals that it was actually incapable of flying. At the most, it could flap its wings and make a very short upward flight. Scientific analysis of physical characteristics places coelurosaurian theropods as the closest ancestral relatives of Archaeopteryx whereas the presence of wings makes them closely related to the modern-day birds. Thus according to the scientific community, it is safe to believe that  Archaeopteryx was an intermediary between the birds and reptiles; a precursor to the evolution of modern-day birds.

Cell membranes acts as a barrier for the large,charged and polar molecules due to their hydrophobic nature.

These molecules are transported with the help of membrane proteins such as carrier proteins across the plasma membrane by a process known as facilitated diffusion. These membrane proteins diffuse larger molecules across the cell membrane that cannot be transported by simple diffusion.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Destruction of coral reefs would cause an imbalance in the ecosystem. Some species could be driven to extinction.  

Coral reefs are the base of the most diverse marine ecosystem in the world. They are often referred to as the ‘rainforest’ of the oceans and seas.  They provide shelter for cnidarians, sponges, crustaceans, and etcetera and provide hiding grounds from predators.
