|---|---|
| What makes entamoeba species unique from other species? | Peripheral chromatin |
| What entamoeba species is the only pathogen? | E. Histolytica |
| What is the smallest entamoeba species? | E. Hartmanni (8-12) Troph (5-12) Cyst |
| What's unique about E. Coli | Many nuclei (16+) |
| What is different from E. Histolytic than E. dispar | E. Histolytic has RBC inclusions |
