Entameoba Histolytica infects what?
Instetines
+ingestided as a cyst
Describe the cycle of an intestinal infection by amebas
cyst —> excystation “it exists in intestine” –forming–>trophozoite—>ingested RBC—>mulitplying and once run out of food develops as CYST and exits with fecal-roal route
_______, heterotrophic protists consume algae & smaller protists, in turn consumed by amebas
