Question

Name any one unique feature of Diatoms.

Answer 1

Diatoms:

1. Diatoms are photosynthesizing algae with a siliceous skeleton (frustule) that can be found in practically every aquatic environment, including fresh and marine waters, soils, and almost any moist environment.
2. The fact that diatoms are enclosed by a silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) cell wall, known as a frustule, is a distinctive aspect of their anatomy.
3. Because of their photonic nanostructure, these frustules exhibit structural coloring and have been dubbed "sea jewels" and "living opals."
