List two uses for diatoms and their shells

Desicibe the structure of dinoflagellates and two interesting things about them.
Dinoflagellates have plate-like cell walls and two flagella. One acts like a tail while the other wraps around like a belt, which causes the dinoflagellate to spin like a top. Two interesting facts are they glow and cause red tides when they create toxins in a large group.
