The scientific name of Diatom is Bacillariophyceae. Diatoms are unicellular algae that appears as colony shaped like filaments or ribbons, fans, zigzags, or stars.
In 1703, an anonymous English microscopist sketched and described the first known diatom, Tabilarria Flocculosa. His sketches were published by the Royal Society of London. His name is yet to be known until this day.
Yes, diatoms are classified within the division Chrysophyta, which includes golden-brown algae like diatoms.
Diatoms are primarily classified into two main groups: centric diatoms and pennate diatoms. Centric diatoms are radially symmetrical and typically found in aquatic environments, while pennate diatoms are bilaterally symmetrical and often inhabit benthic or sedimentary environments. Both types are characterized by their siliceous cell walls, known as frustules, which contribute to their ecological role in aquatic ecosystems.
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
That IS the scientific name.
Diatomophyceae or Bacillariophyta .Note it is group 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.
I got no idea
I think it is just that. They are algae with a siliceous case. Others correct if necessary.
Bacillariophyceae
Diatoms.
Diatoms
Common names for protists can vary widely, but some examples include amoebas (Amoeba proteus), paramecia (Paramecium caudatum), and diatoms (Diatoms). The scientific classification of protists is complex due to their diversity, but they are generally grouped into multiple kingdoms such as Protista and various phyla based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships.

pennate diatoms
Yes, diatoms are classified within the division Chrysophyta, which includes golden-brown algae like diatoms.
Diatoms account for 23% of the primary productivity of the world, that's what they do!
