The most important factor which determines whether the living things can survive in a body of water s its salinity. The salinity level of the water is the factor at play in deciding which of the living organisms live inside the water. The salinity of the organisms has to be similar to the salinity level of the water in order for them to survive, otherwise, they will be dehydrated as a result of osmosis.
Hence, the answer is 'salinity'.
<h2>Operational </h2>
Explanation:
The operational definition is the description of a specific process, or set of validation tests, accessible to more persons than the definer (i.e., said to be publicly accessible), where it can be repeatedly measured or tested
Operational definitions are also used to define system states or (nonspecific) physical objects by the description of a specific process of preparation which can be repeated
For example in the given example experimenter is using the case of hitting a punching bag to measure the level of aggression in someone
The sun is not a living thing. It is made up of gases, such as hydrogen and helium, rather than living cells, which are present in all forms of life
