Diatoms
• Found in two basic shapes:
– Centric – cylindrical
– Pennate – long, oval-shaped
• Diatoms are delicate
unicellular organisms that
have a yellow-brown
chloroplast that enables them
to photosynthesize.
• Their cell walls are made of
silica almost like a glass
house
• Layers of dead diatoms form
diatomaceous earth.
• Used to make polish, in pool
filters and as an insecticide
