9. UV water treatment systems are effective in treating protozoans. viruses. bacteria. all of these. 10. UV irradiation inactivates Cryptosporidium because It denatures the proteins within the microorganism. It blocks the action of lysozyme. It removes thymine dimers within the DNA. It blocks the action of DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase.

Step 1

So, the answer is "all of these." For question 10, UV irradiation inactivates Cryptosporidium by damaging its DNA, which prevents it from reproducing. This is done by causing the formation of thymine dimers within the DNA, which block the action of DNA polymerase Show more…
