Diatoms have oil-filled vacuoles primarily for buoyancy and energy storage. The oil, being less dense than water, helps them float in aquatic environments, allowing for better access to sunlight for photosynthesis. Additionally, these oil reserves serve as an energy source that can be utilized during periods of nutrient scarcity. This adaptation enhances their survival and efficiency in various marine ecosystems.
They collect the food you eat
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
because oil filled radiators transfer heat more effectiantly
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.
