Dinoflagellates. Dinoflagellates are the other primary form of large phytoplankton with about 2,000 species. Unlike diatoms, dinoflagellates are mobile through the use of a flagella. Also unlike diatoms, they do not have an external skeleton made of silica, however they are protected by cellulose.arine algae (seaweeds and phytoplankton) are a loose group of some of the simplest organisms that contain chlorophyll (like plants) but include members of both the Empires Prokaryota (Kingdom Bacteria-e.g., cyanobacteria) and Eukaryota (Kingdoms Chromista, Plantae and Protozoa...).
Diatoms are microscopic algae living in both fresh and salt water. They are unicellular organisms with heavily silica impregnated cell walls. Living diatoms are amongst the most abundant forms of plankton and represent an essential part of the food chain in the ocean. Once dead, their shells accumulate on the seabed and eventually form siliceous sediment deposits.
