Most diatoms are non-motile, simply being carried by currents and turbulence - however, some types move via flagellation (the swimming motion of small hair-like features called 'flagella'). Flagella are projections from the cell body which are moved back and forth (flagellated) to provide motion. Identical in structure to flagella (but somewhat shorter in length), cilia are present in mammals primarily to facilitate the movement of fluids and mucus across tissues/membranes.

Which group can really move around best?

diatoms


How do diatoms get their food?

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


Group of objects in space that move around a central star?

A solar system is a group of objects that orbit around a central star, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Our solar system, for example, includes the sun and all the celestial bodies that revolve around it.


How do diatoms shape help them survive?

Desiccated crystals or fibrils stick to surfaces when they are hydrated and when they contract they move the diatom along Centric diatoms ( marine) have radial symmetry in valve view and lack rapines and pseudoraphes . The outline of centric diatoms is usually circular, oval, or elliptical.


To manually move a system from one group to another you do which two things with the system to move it to the other group?

To manually move a system from one group to another, you typically need to remove the system from the current group and then add it to the desired group. This process may involve updating configuration settings or permissions to ensure the system functions correctly in its new group. Lastly, it's important to verify that the move was successful and that the system is operating as intended in the new group.

Movement --- Diatoms are able to move by secreting chemicals out of small holes in their cell walls and gliding on the slime:)

What do diatoms eat?

Diatoms are in kingdom protista. They are also in the plantlike protist category so therefore they are eukaryotic, single or many celled, and have chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll. The chlorophyll causes them to use energy from the sun to make food that they eat. Diatoms are also filter-feeders. As they move through water, they filter particles through their two silica shells as means of processing food.
