All diatoms are enclosed by a frustule that is made up of two valves fitted together by a connective zone called a girdle.
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.
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.
Diatoms are a type of algae that can be found in various aquatic environments, including oceans, lakes, rivers, and even in damp soil. They are typically found in environments with high levels of nutrients and sunlight, as they rely on photosynthesis for energy.

Diatoms are primarily found in the sunlit zone of the ocean, also known as the euphotic zone. This zone receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, which is essential for diatoms as they are photosynthetic organisms. They are most abundant in surface waters where sunlight penetration is optimal.
Diatoms, Green and Golden Algae and Cyanobacteria Golden algae live in lakes and oceans, while diatoms live in freshwater and saltwater.
