What is the ecological role of Dino flagellates and diatoms?
Diatoms are very important in both freshwater and marine ecosystems. They export excess carbon in the ocean and also utilize silic acid to create their cells walls. The use of this also helps them be controlled vicariously through the abundance and dispersal of it throughout the water. Diatoms are also able to sink, so that helps them with dispersal. They are responsible for nearly half of the ocean's energy production.
