Answer:

Diatoms have a cell wall that includes silica, while dinoflagellates have a cell wall that includes cellulose.

Explanation:

Diatoms are unicellular algae. Some of them can live in colonies forming filaments or ribbons, they are surrounded by a cell wall made of silica called a frustula.

They are microscopic animals, almost always single-celled. They have flagella. They can be divided into two large groups differentiated by the presence or absence of cellulosic plaques in the cell wall or amphysm.

The "frustule" cell wall of diatoms. A dinoflagellate isn't constructed this way. The frustule is composed of two parts which are pretty much identical except for size -- one of the parts is slightly smaller than the other.

What features of ionizing radiation make it a good choice for killing microbes in packaged materials?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Normally sterilizing food using radiation does not induce radioactivity but sometimes it may change the taste, texture of the food and it may also destroy the nutrients. radiation is used to kill the harmful bacteria and to increase the shelf life. when the radiation is very energetic it alters the food structure but it does not make it radioactive. To become radioactive one has to make a nucleus unstable. ionizing radiation normally cannot do this. FDA has established maximum energy levels for radiation to prevent the treated foods from becoming radioactive. The energy levels of the rays are too low to induce radioactivity in the food. So there is no harm in consuming treated foods.
