How is nutrition of dinoflagellates more complex than the nutrition of diatoms?
They are more complex because more nutrition is made throughout their body than the nutrition made in a diatom.
Compare and contrast diatoms and dinoflagellates?
zooflagellates are more animal-like flagellates (eg, triconympha that live in the digestive tract of termites), and dinoflagellates are more plant-like flagellates (phytoflagellates) - Autotrophic organisms.
What eats diatoms?
i know some types of plankton eat diatoms and so do sponges,jellyfish and crabs and ther is still many more things that eat diatoms
How many diatoms is there in an o?
there are more than 1000
What are the representatives of kingdom protista?
Protista consist mostly of unicellular eukaryotes. They are organisms that are not classified under Animal, Plant, Fungus, or Moneria kingdoms. These organisms can be autotrophs or heretotrophs. Included in this Kingdom are Amoeba, Euglena, & Paramecium. These single celled organisms are more complex than bacteria and live independently.
What is a difference between desmids and diatoms?
Diatoms are stramenophila algae, their cell wall is composed of silica and their chloroplasts are yellowish-brown. Desmids are green algae, their cell wall is composed of cellulose and pectins (like plants), and their chloroplasts are green.
Which vegetable has more nutrition?
if u want more nutrition it is in green vegetables .
What animals eat diatom?
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.
What's the difference between a pennate and a centric diatom?
Pennate diatoms have elongated, bilaterally symmetrical cells with a slit-like opening, while centric diatoms are circular or oval in shape with radial symmetry. Pennate diatoms are typically found in benthic habitats, while centric diatoms are more common in planktonic environments.
What phylum does diatom belong to?
The more than 8,000 species of diatoms are the largest group in the phylum Chrysophyta of the kingdom Protista.
Why is it important for diatoms to live near the surface?
Diatoms rely on sunlight for photosynthesis, so living near the surface allows them to access light for energy production. Additionally, being near the surface helps diatoms to disperse their spores more effectively, promoting reproduction and species survival.
Why do centric diatoms live in saltwater and pennate diatoms live in freshwater?
Centric diatoms have a spherical shape that helps them float and stay suspended in the water column, which is more common in saltwater environments with consistent water movement. Pennate diatoms have a more elongated shape that allows them to attach to surfaces in freshwater environments where there may be less water movement. This difference in shape relates to their respective preferences for saltwater and freshwater habitats.
