Task: Pick a single cell organism from http://commtechlab.msu.edu/Sites/dlc-me/zoo/i... (The Microbe Zoo) Do a blog about that organism. Where does it live, what does it do , include a picture.
The organism algae lives in the water. Algae are photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. They are multiple different colors of algae which include golden, yellow, brown, red, green and yellow-green.
Diatom, which is a type of algae, are protists that grown a silica shell around themselves. When diatoms divide, each offspring of the diatom takes half of the original shell with it, and grows another matching half. Diatoms are frequently found in wet environments, such as ponds and can also grow on the surface layer of soil, where they can use sunlight sunlight to produce food with photosynthesis. There are two basic types of diatoms: elongate ones and round ones, like the one demonstrated in the picture. While Elongated diatoms can move themselves, round diatoms cannot. In addition, there may be as many as 10,000 species of diatoms.
