The availability of phosphorous and this element was limited in Dave Tilman's experiments which led to the development of the resource competition model, which were done on organisms such as Asterionella.

It is not aluminum, but a compound containing this element is often used as the stationary phase for various chromatographies. A compound in which this element is bonded to four -CH3 groups is used as an internal standard for NMR, and the dioxide of this element makes up a mineral which is commonly used in glass. For 10 points each, name this element which is found in the cell walls of diatoms, which has symbol Si.
