Diatoms are the major primary producers in what ecosystem?
Marine
Is a diatoms a carnivores?
Diatoms are microscopic plants (phytoplankton) found in oceans and lakes. Their cell wall is made of Silica which remain after the diatom dies. Diatoms are single celled, photosynthetic algae this means that they are producers!!
What protists have a hard outer coating made of silica?
Mainly Diatoms
Does diatoms are parasitic?
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.
Are diatoms parasites or free living?
diatoms are free living. they are also called "floating pastures of the sea". they are one of the only organisms which are autotrophs.
What are some producers in the Atlantic Ocean?
Phytoplankton feeds most of the life in the ocean . (:
Is diatoms a decomposer?
diatoms are producers, not decomposers. they are photosynthetic organisms
Why are diatoms and other algae important to the ocean?
They are the primary producers that trap the Sun's energy and thus the basis of all life in the oceans.
What happens to diatoms in deep ocean water?
Depending on depth of ocean, the diatoms size shrinks
Are diatoms producers?
Yes, i believe they are. They are a type of algae

What are some of the different kinds of producers found in the marine ecosystem?

Are there any animal producers in the ocean?
No. NO ANIMAL can be a producer, ONLY PLANTS can be producers. There are however PRODUCERS in the Ocean.
Do Diatoms produce oxygen?
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.
Which primary producers in most ocean ecosystems and that which produce energy through photosynthesis?
Primary producers in most ocean ecosystems are phytoplankton, which are microscopic algae that use photosynthesis to produce energy. Phytoplankton play a crucial role in marine food chains by converting sunlight into organic matter that fuels the rest of the ecosystem.
What protists have a hard outer coating made of silica?
Mainly Diatoms
