Diatoms are usually microscopic, but they can be 2mm in length. Marine diatoms are a yellowish brown colour.
Yes, diatoms are classified within the division Chrysophyta, which includes golden-brown algae like diatoms.
Diatoms make silica shells called frustules. These frustules form intricate designs and patterns, which are unique to each species of diatom. The frustules function as protective outer coverings for the diatoms.
The scientific name of Diatom is Bacillariophyceae. Diatoms are unicellular algae that appears as colony shaped like filaments or ribbons, fans, zigzags, or stars.
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.
Flagellates are of 2 types , Zooflagellates are Protozoa like while Phytoflagellates are Algae like .

No, diatoms are not fungi. Diatoms are a type of phytoplankton, which are photosynthetic microorganisms belonging to the group of algae. Fungi are a separate kingdom of organisms that are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter.

animal like protist
you would look for them in the tunda because diatoms only bllom in fresh cold water :)

The scientific name of Diatom is Bacillariophyceae. Diatoms are unicellular algae that appears as colony shaped like filaments or ribbons, fans, zigzags, or stars.
Diatoms are two atoms of the same element bonded together. The only diatoms that form are Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2, and F2. You can remember these diatoms using BrINClHOF (brinklehoff) as a mnemonic. Diatoms are drawn with a dash (-) in between the two atoms like so: Br-Br, I-I, N-N, etc.
Diatoms are usually found in marine areas like oceans.
Diatoms are algae, diatoms are protists. Diatoms are placed in the division Bacilliariophyta, which is distinguished by the presence of an inorganic cell wall composed of hydrated silica.
