Answer 2

The mature parasite which is active and motile adult is known as trophozoite. The trophozoites of E. histolytica are large known as magna raging 20-30 microns in diameter. Feeding form is pathogenic to humans and resembles Amoeba in all structural details. The cytoplasm of trophozoite is differentiated into two distinct portions, the outer ectoplasm and inner endoplasm having nucleus. The ectoplasm is clear, non-granular and hyaline, while the endoplasm is granular and fluid-like.
