What is the Difference Between Diatoms and Dinoflagellates?

The two most common phytoplankton found in seawater are diatoms and dinoflagellates. Diatoms have a cell wall that comprises silica while dinoflagellates have a cell wall that comprises cellulose. This is the key difference between diatoms and dinoflagellates. Furthermore, another difference between diatoms and dinoflagellates is that though the diatoms and dinoflagellates are able to photosynthesize and generate oxygen, the dinoflagellates can produce neurotoxins and have the ability of bioluminescence, but that is not present in diatoms.

The above infographic presents a side by side comparison to make the difference between diatoms and dinoflagellates more clear.
