Lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
Earth's lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth. The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates<span>. The uppermost part of the lithosphere that chemically reacts to the </span>atmosphere<span>, </span>hydrosphere<span> and </span>biosphere<span> through the </span>soil forming process<span> is called the </span>pedosphere<span>. The lithosphere is underlain by the </span>asthenosphere<span> which is the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle.</span>

The rocky upper layer of the solid earth is called the "lithosphere". This rocky part includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and also of the crust. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and of the asthenosphere which is another part of the upper portion of the mantle.

The pKa of an acid depends partly on its environment. Predict the effect of each of the following environmental changes on the p
Galina-37 [17]
The pKa represents the pH of the medium at which the zwitterionic amino acid assumes most stable ionic form due to structural stabilization. As the pKa is dependent upon the environmental factors of the solution around the amino acids, a change in their structure and localization can cause change in the pKa of the protein. Thus, the answers can be found as below:

Part A: Decrease (As the lysine is basic in nature, it will tend to stabilize the electrostatic interaction and weak interactions between the acidic amino acids and hydrogen bonds in the viscinity, thus lowering the pH and hence pKa of the protein)

Part B: Increase (As the carboxyl group is acidic in nature, removal of it will tend to increase the pKa since the basic amino acids will tend to accumulate more negative charge in their viscinity)

Part C: Increase (As glutamic acid is an acidic amino acid, its shift from outside to a non-polar site will prevents its ionization and hence the pKa will tend to shift from slightly acidic to slightly basic, hence increase)
