Silica
The tiny exoskeleton of a diatom is mostly composed of silica, which is a form of silicon dioxide. This silica shell gives diatoms their characteristic glass-like appearance and provides protection for the cell inside.
The cell wall of a diatom is rich in silicon. It is composed of two overlapping halves, like a petri dish, made of silica that give diatoms their unique intricate patterns and shapes.
The appendicular skeleton is composed of 126 bones, including those of the upper and lower limbs as well as the pectoral and pelvic girdles. These bones are important for movement and provide connections to the axial skeleton.
No, galena is not a mineral oxide. It is a sulfide mineral composed of lead and sulfur. Oxides are minerals that are composed of oxygen combined with a metal or other element.
Microtubules, Intermediate Filaments, and M icrofilaments

Diatom exoskeletons, or frustules, are made from silica. To get a clearer insight into this material Go to the related link (AFM maps the diatom exoskeleton) below.
A hydraulic skeleton is composed of muscle and fluid.

The appendicular skeleton is composed of 126 bones of the limbs and the pectoral.
Carbon
No. A native mineral is composed of only one element. Ice, the mineral, is composed of two -- hydrogen and oxygen.
