the ground-up diatoms are added to cleansers because they are hard and don't scratch any surface.
All diatoms are enclosed by a frustule that is made up of two valves fitted together by a connective zone called a girdle.
No, diatoms are not parasitic. They are single-celled algae that are primarily photosynthetic, meaning they make their own food using sunlight. They play an important role in marine and freshwater ecosystems as primary producers.
Yes, diatoms are classified within the division Chrysophyta, which includes golden-brown algae like diatoms.
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
Diatoms make silica shells called frustules. These frustules form intricate designs and patterns, which are unique to each species of diatom. The frustules function as protective outer coverings for the diatoms.
Sometimes they are both.

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!
diatoms are producers, not decomposers. they are photosynthetic organisms
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.
The phylum for diatoms is Bacillariophyta. Diatoms are a type of algae that belong to this phylum and are characterized by their unique silica cell walls.
Most Diatoms are Photosynthetic but some have evolved to be heterotrophic
Diatoms are microscopic. Diatoms range in size from about 2 microns to about 500 microns or equal to the width of a human hair.
Yes they are; diatoms are the main source of oxygen in the universe.
