Parameter mole_concentration_of_diatoms_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen
Properties
| Name | mole_concentration_of_diatoms_in_sea_water_expressed_as_nitrogen |
|---|---|
| Description | Mole concentration means moles (amount of substance) per unit volume and is used in the construction mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y, where X is a material constituent of Y. The construction expressed_as_nitrogen means that the mole concentration is that of nitrogen atoms due to the diatoms. Diatoms are single-celled phytoplankton with an external skeleton made of silica. Phytoplankton are autotrophic prokaryotic or eukaryotic algae that live near the water surface where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis. |
