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.
