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.

How do you draw a diatom?
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.
What is the habitat of a diatom?
Diatoms are usually found in marine areas like oceans.
What is scientific name of diatoms?
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.
