Phosphorylation could activate an allosteric enzyme by the amount of the t-form. phosphorylation could inhibit a michaelis-menten enzyme by the km of the enzyme for its substrate.

Decreasing, Increasing.

Explanation:

Phosphorylation could activate an allosteric enzyme by decreasing the amount of the T-form. In the case of allosteric enzyme phosphorylation results in the form of activation of allosteric enzyme. T-form of the allosteric enzyme is present in the inactivated form, so which is decrease as the enzyme is getting activated.

Michaelis-Menten enzyme by increasing the Km of the enzyme for its substrate. In this case, Michaelis-Menten enzyme phosphorylation is inhibited so that the Km is higher. Which is defined as the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate is low and the enzyme is inhibited.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
