Yes they are; diatoms are the main source of oxygen in the universe.
35 percent
energy, oxygen
How do diatoms influence the earths systems? Two ways
Diatoms are the major primary producer in the globe. They produce oxygen more than the all the world tropical forests put together. Whatever the oxygen taken inside by us are atleast 1/4 of its from diatoms. Recently freshwater diatoms are also used as bioindicators, to detect the pollution.
Sunlight is the most important energy source in an oxygen carbon dioxide life cycle.
Oxygen = O2Nitrogen = N2Carbon Dioxide = CO2First to are diatoms and the third is a molecule of CO2
Source of food and oxygen. No plants, no life.
so it can absorb the sun
H2O is the molecule that is the source of oxygen from photosynthesis. It is important to note that the oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis. Some chemical names for it includes hydrogen hydroxide and dihydrogen monoxide.
Many aquatic organisms consume diatoms. Diatoms are an important type of primary producer in marine and freshwater systems and are a type of algae. In marine systems, many zooplankton and some small fish consume diatoms.
Silica is the most important component.
in the Periodic Table there are 7 diatomic elements..they are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine
