pennate diatoms
How do diatoms get food?
as diatoms move through water they filter particles through their two silica shells
Which group can really move around best?
diatoms
What purpose do diatoms cell walls serve?
Movement --- Diatoms are able to move by secreting chemicals out of small holes in their cell walls and gliding on the slime:)
Which group diatoms can move around the best?
Most diatoms are non-motile, simply being carried by currents and turbulence - however, some types move via flagellation (the swimming motion of small hair-like features called 'flagella'). Flagella are projections from the cell body which are moved back and forth (flagellated) to provide motion. Identical in structure to flagella (but somewhat shorter in length), cilia are present in mammals primarily to facilitate the movement of fluids and mucus across tissues/membranes.
Are diatoms classified as chrysophytes?
Yes, diatoms are classified within the division Chrysophyta, which includes golden-brown algae like diatoms.
What is scientific name of diatoms?

diatoms are producers, not decomposers. they are photosynthetic organisms
What is the phylum for diatoms?
The phylum for diatoms is Bacillariophyta. Diatoms are a type of algae that belong to this phylum and are characterized by their unique silica cell walls.
What mode of nutrition do diatoms have?

How big are diatoms?
Diatoms are microscopic. Diatoms range in size from about 2 microns to about 500 microns or equal to the width of a human hair.
