The wall consists of two silicious valves, one of which fits over the other like the lid of a box. These valves are frequently very beautifully sculptured. Through division, new cells and new walls are formed, which are always smaller than before, until finally as a limit a sexual spore is produced which reestablishes the size of the cell. Diatoms inhabit stagnant water, wet rocks, and the sea. They are either free-floating or pedicelled and attached. The silicious walls will resist burning. Diatoms contain little, if any, chlorophyll, and are mostly saprophytic. A large part of the oceanic plankton is composed of Diatoms.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;More information about this class can be found on the [[Thallophyta|division page]].&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> {{photo-sources}}&lt;!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 1<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 2<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 3<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], L.
