Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow based on the passage and related studied concepts.

A leading advantage of chlorination is that it has proven effective against bacteria and viruses; however, it cannot inactivate all microbes. Some protozoan cysts are resistant to the effects of chlorine. Chlorine inactivates a microorganism by damaging its cell membrane. Once the cell membrane is weakened, chlorine can enter the cell and disrupt cellular respiration and DNA activity (two processes that are necessary for cell survival).
