© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Diatoms are members of the phytoplankton, are surrounded by relatively dense silica cases, and lack flagella. Consequently, what is their greatest challenge to survival?

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Red tides can cause massive fish kills. One reason may be that red-tide organisms secrete deadly neurotoxins. Another reason is less direct. What might it be? (HINT: What happens to the bloom when the conditions that caused it to occur are no longer present?)
