They use photosynthesis.
The main form of nutrition for diatoms is photosynthesis, where they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and nutrients into organic matter. Diatoms are autotrophic organisms, meaning they can produce their own food using light energy.
No, all algae have the capability to conduct photosynthesis, including diatoms. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
Most of Earth's photosynthesis is carried out in the ocean by organisms in the Protist Kingdom: seaweed, diatoms, etc.
they feed on stuff Diatoms are almost all photosynthetic. Most of the biological energy production (and oxygen production!) on earth is due to photosynthesis, and a little under half of it occurs in the ocean. Diatoms are responsible for a large proportion of the total energy production of the oceans, possibly as much as a half... They don't eat but make there own nutrients

autotrophic- meaning they produce there own food through photosynthesis
Yes, diatoms produce oxygen through photosynthesis. They are important producers of oxygen in marine environments and play a significant role in the global carbon cycle.
Yes, diatoms produce oxygen through photosynthesis. They are a type of algae that play a significant role in oxygen production and carbon dioxide absorption in aquatic ecosystems.
Diatoms are single celled algae and one of the most common types of phytoplankton. Because they undergo photosynthesis, they are considered autotrophs.
Yes they do. They have special adaptations to consume phytoplankton called diatoms. Their teeth are capped with silica which is the only thing strong enough to crush the diatom's frustule shell. They consume diatoms so regularly that you can predict where copepods can be found in the coean based on where you would find thriving blooms of diatoms.
It had to start photosynthesis.
