Acorn worm

The acorn worms or Enteropneusta are a hemichordate class of invertebrates consisting of one order of the same name. Harrimania planktophilus and acorn worm are Enteropneusta.

Barnacle

Barnacles are arthropods of the subclass Cirripedia in the subphylum Crustacea.

Calcium carbonate

Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula.

Cilium

The cilium (cilia;; in anatomy, cilium is an eyelash) is a membrane-bound organelle found on most types of eukaryotic cell.

See Harrimania planktophilus and Cilium

Dioecy

Dioecy (adj. dioecious) is a characteristic of certain species that have distinct unisexual individuals, each producing either male or female gametes, either directly (in animals) or indirectly (in seed plants).

See Harrimania planktophilus and Dioecy

Egg

An egg is an organic vessel grown by an animal to carry a possibly fertilized egg cell (a zygote) and to incubate from it an embryo within the egg until the embryo has become an animal fetus that can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches.

See Harrimania planktophilus and Egg

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

Filter feeder

Filter feeders are aquatic animals that acquire nutrients by feeding on organic matters, food particles or smaller organisms (bacteria, microalgae and zooplanktons) suspended in water, typically by having the water pass over or through a specialized filtering organ.

See Harrimania planktophilus and Filter feeder

Foraminifera

Foraminifera (Latin for "hole bearers"; informally called "forams") are single-celled organisms, members of a phylum or class of Rhizarian protists characterized by streaming granular ectoplasm for catching food and other uses; and commonly an external shell (called a "test") of diverse forms and materials.

See Harrimania planktophilus and Foraminifera

Gonad

A gonad, sex gland, or reproductive gland is a mixed gland that produces the gametes and sex hormones of an organism.

Greek language

Harrimaniidae

Harrimaniidae is a basal family of acorn worms. Harrimania planktophilus and Harrimaniidae are Enteropneusta.

Intertidal zone

The intertidal zone or foreshore is the area above water level at low tide and underwater at high tide; in other words, it is the part of the littoral zone within the tidal range.

See Harrimania planktophilus and Intertidal zone

Mollusc shell

The mollusc (or molluskOften spelled mollusk shell in the USA; the spelling "mollusc" are preferred by) shell is typically a calcareous exoskeleton which encloses, supports and protects the soft parts of an animal in the phylum Mollusca, which includes snails, clams, tusk shells, and several other classes.

Mucus

Mucus is a slippery aqueous secretion produced by, and covering, mucous membranes.

See Harrimania planktophilus and Mucus

Pharynx

The pharynx (pharynges) is the part of the throat behind the mouth and nasal cavity, and above the esophagus and trachea (the tubes going down to the stomach and the lungs respectively).

See Harrimania planktophilus and Pharynx

Plankton

Plankton are the diverse collection of organisms that drift in water (or air) but are unable to actively propel themselves against currents (or wind).

See Harrimania planktophilus and Plankton

Sphincter

A sphincter is a circular muscle that normally maintains constriction of a natural body passage or orifice and which relaxes as required by normal physiological functioning.

See Harrimania planktophilus and Sphincter
