What is a Quaternary consumer in grasslands?
If you mean that can tertiary and quaternary consumers both be carnivores, then yes, they can be. The quaternary consumers are probably at the top of the food chain as there are rarely any more than 4 - 5 trophic levels. This is because it would be pointless as there would be very little energy left for the top consumer.If you actually mean what you said literally in the question then the top consumer can eat carnivores but it is highly unlikely that the tertiary consumer will eat carnivores - they usually eat omnivores (secondary consumers) who eat herbivores (primary consumers) who eat producers (e.g. plants).
What is a fifth order consumer?
It is a consumer that is at the top of the food web. Food webs have producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, quaternary consumers, and fifth order consumers. Fifth order consumers have to eat at least one quaternary consumer to make it to that level. They do not eat other fifth order consumers and can also eat anything lower than their level.
Proteins with more than one polypeptide chain have what structure?
These have quaternary structure. This is the overall shape of all the chains combined. The 3D shape of one polypeptide chain is the tertiary structure.
What is a consumer in biology?
A consumer is a living organism that cannot synthesize energy from the sun. Therefore, consumers get energy by eating other organisms. There are many levels of consumers that make up the food web. These can include primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and sometimes quaternary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores (they can only consume autotrophs). As energy travels from autotrophs to quaternary consumers, much of the energy is used by organisms or (primarily) dissipated as heat. Therefore, there are less quaternary consumers than autotrophs because quaternary consumers cannot get as much energy.
Can tertiary consumers be eaten?
If you mean are they the top predators, then No (as they can be scavengers).
Why are there fewer tertiary consumers than secondary consumers?
Why are there fewer top level consumers than lower level consumers
Why did the Quaternary Period end?
Quaternary PeriodIt hasn't, yet. Geologic time was originally divided into four parts, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary, with the Quaternary being the current time of life. Eventually it was realized that the Primary and Secondary were much more distinctly different than the Tertiary and Quaternary, so the were re-named the Paleozoic (old life) and Mesozoic (middle life) eras, while the Tertiary and Quaternary were classified periods within the Cenozoic (recent life) era. The Tertiary contains the first five epochs, while the Quaternary contains the last two.Some consider the division between Tertiary and Quaternary to be obsolete, and prefer to divide the Cenozoic into the Palaeogene (first three epochs) and Neogene (latest four epochs).AnswerYou are currently living in the Qaternary period. Is has not ended.
Do antibodies have a quaternary structure?
No. It is possible for an enzyme to have a quaternary structure, but it strictly depends on the enzyme. For example, β-galactosidase, more commonly known as lactase, is the enzyme that breaks the β linkage between the disaccharide lactose into its componenets glucose and galactose. β-galactosidase is a tetramer, meaning it has four subunits. This is an example of an enzyme with a quaternary structure. Enzymes can also be tertiary structures, meaning only one subunit. The quaternary structure is just made up of more than one tertiary structures. Depending on the enzyme, it can either function with only one amino acid chain coiled into a conformation (tertiary) or a group of amino acid chains coiled into a conformation (quaternary).
Why DNA molecules don't have tertiary and quaternary structure?
Tertiary and Quaternary structures are generally used to create complex shapes such as in enzymes where the specific shape is used as a catalyst. DNA can be likened to a line of text. if it were organised in more complex shapes than it is found in it's diffuse form during interphase then there would be added difficulties involved in processes such as transcription.
What is the most common type of business?
if you mean what is the most common type of industry it depends on how developed countries are: More developed countries the most common is tertiary then quaterniary then secondary then primary less developed countries the most common is primar then secondary then tertiary than quaternary
What is a tertiary protein structure exemplified by?
Hemoglobin - formed with alpha helices and/or beta sheets, but as one, contiguous polypeptide. Superoxide dismutase would be a good example of a quaternary structure protein, since it is made of more than one polypeptide chain.
Why are there more primary consumers than tertiary consumers?
Because the total energy associated with the primary consumers isn't stored in their bodies, so can't all be passed on to the secondary ones. The rest is used for their life processes, such as movement.
