Answer:

Because conductivity is useful to measure salinity in the water

Explanation:

One of the most important things in the oceanic ecosystems is the water salinity because it's necessary an equilibrium in this salinity (amount of ions) for the stability of the ecosystem. For that reason, oceanographers and other scientists need to measure this water characteristic.

Conductivity is the ability of a material to conduct electric current through disolved ions. These ions in water change its salinity, if there are a lot of disolved ions in water it is vert salty and vice versa and if water ir very salty so it is too conductive.

Which of these is NOT characteristic of chordates?
Leya [2.2K]
The option which is not a characteristic of chordates is chloroplasts in their cells.
Chordates do have a dorsal supporting rod (vertebrates are types of chordates - they have a spine), a dorsal hollow nerve cord (within the spine), and pharyngeal pouches. However, they do not have chloroplasts, because that is a characteristic of photoautothropic eukaryotes, which chordates certainly are not.
