What is a single celled organism with cell walls but no nuclei called?
There are at least two: yeast and diatoms. They are unicellular prokaryotes with cell walls. Silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) called a frustule is the cell wall of diatoms and fungal cells like yeast have cell walls that contain chitin.
Silicon dioxide forms the cell walls of?
I think its Diatoms, but im not for sure..
What cells have cell wall?
plantae and fungi.
Which is these organisms has the most complex cell wall?
Plants and fungi have cell walls. Note that while plants have cell walls made of cellulose, fungi cell walls are made of chitin.
Does all cell contains cell walls?
only plant cells contain a cell wall, which is made of cellulose. all other cells do not contain cell walls. animal cells do not have a definite shape and fungi cells have walls made from chitin
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:)
Chitin is a chemical component of the cell walls of?
Chitin is found in fungi cell walls.Some diatoms (a type of protazoa) contain chitin in their cell walls along with inorganic glass-like substances.
What do the diatoms have like cell walls and etc?

What are the cells that produce cell walls rich in silicon?
Diatoms
What type of sales have cell walls?
Plant cells are surrounded by cell walls apart from the cell membrane. Apart from plants other cells that have cell walls include bacteria, algae, fungi, and diatoms.

What are Single celled organisms with rigid silica cell walls in many different shapes?
These organisms live in the sea, they are photosynthesising algae and are part of the Earths Phytoplankton. They are called "Diatoms".
Does animal protest or plant protest have a glass like cell wall?
The diatoms, plantlike protists, have glass-like cell walls.

What organism has silica walls?
class chrysophyta
Does fungi cell walls contain chitlin?
Yes. Fungi cell walls are made of chitin.
