Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun to combine carbon dioxide and water to form glucose. Hence, like plants, diatoms contain chlorophyll and produce glucose from from CO2 and H2O.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diatoms, a type of protist, are one of the most common types of phytoplankton in marine habitats. Like plants, diatoms contain chlorophyll and produce glucose from which of the following? Small grains that contain a plant’s male reproductive cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis diatoms use energy from light to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars for food. Byproducts created from this transformation include organic carbon and oxygen. This process is called carbon fixation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diatoms turn energy from the sun into sugar Diatoms have light-absorbing molecules (chlorophylls a and c) that collect energy from the sun and turn it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -DIATOMS are a major group of algae, and one of the most common types of phytoplankton (plant-based plankton). A characteristic feature of diatom cells is that they are encased within a unique cell wall made of silica.
