Question

Describe the structure of
Trophozoite form of Entamoeba histolytica?

Answer 1

Answer:

histolytica has a simple, two-stage life cycle, consisting of the infective cyst and colon-invasive trophozoite forms. E. histolytica infections occur when cysts are ingested through contaminated food or water. In the lower intestine trophozoites emerge from cysts (a process known as excystation).

Answer 2

The adult trophic form of Entamoeba is known as Trophozoite or Magna. It inhabits anterior part of large intestine, i.e. colon of human beings. It resembles amoeba in structure but differs in parasitic mode of life. Its body is covered by plasma lemma and cytoplasm is differentiated into ectoplasm and endoplasm.
