Birds evolved from reptiles in Mesozoic era and their ancestors are small dinosaurs called theropods while they belong to class aves.

Further Explanation

Birds as dinosaurs

They are evolved in Mesozoic era either from thecodonts or theropods. These are two possibilities.

Thecodonts hypothesis

These are earlier reptiles which gave rise to dinosaurs (arboreal dinosaurs called pterosaurs and crocodiles) in Mesozoic era. Their body was covered with scales.

Theropods

They were bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs having sharp teeth to tear their prey. Earlier they were non-flying and gave rise to small flying dinosaurs. Their fossil study reveals that they were similar to birds.

Birds as reptiles

Taxonomic study reveals that birds are descendants of reptiles and fossil of Archaeopteryx lithographica is the evidence.

<em>Archaeopteryx lithographica </em>

Archaeopteryx was first fossils of birds that was found in Bavarian quarry by a German naturalist. It was crow sized, bipedal, with small snout having sharp teeth, strong muscles and large furcula.

Archaeopteryx Vs modern birds

Modern birds possess larger brain with enlarged visual center as compared to archaeopteryx. Modern birds had evolved advance neural system for flight.

Aves

It is class of vertebrate birds having characteristics like bill, wishbone, pygostyle and furcula.

Describe the movement of oxygen molecules if there were more oxygen molecules<br> outside the cell
Molodets [167]

Explanation:

Because there's a higher concentration of oxygen molecules outside the cell compared to the cell's cytoplasm, you'll see that oxygen diffuses into the cell along this concentration gradient. ... Because the molecules are moving at random, some will move out of the cell, but most will be moving in in this case.
