No.
Proteins start out as a Primary structure, which is just the linear form and sequence of amino acids.
The proteins then start forming alpha helices and/or Beta sheets depending on the properties of the amino acids. This is their Secondary structure
The proteins then fold completely into tertiary structure. Here, we have a lot of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions within the protein between the helices and beta sheets. Many proteins are fully functional in their tertiary structure and don't have any reason for forming into a quaternary structure.
In the quaternary structure, we usually see an interaction between 2 or more polypeptides or proteins. An example would be 2 proteins in their tertiary structure binding together to become a functional dimer. If 3 proteins were interacting it would form a trimer.
Several proteins are functional only in a quaternary structure while several more proteins are just fine in their tertiary structure and therefore do not have a quaternary structure.

Once assemble What is the key to a proteins unique function?
Much of a proteins function is based on its 3 dimensional structure. How the Amino acids interact with eachother. Examples of 3 dimension structure are Alpha helix, and beta sheets. this is bull that is not it.
How can animal proteins be extended?
Animal proteins are extended by being combined with carbohydrate foods and proteins that have spare proteins. This process is called protein sparing.
A structure remaining in an animal but with no use at all is called?
A structure within an animal, but is not used and has no purpose, is known as a vestigial structure. For example, in humans, there is a small bone at the very end of the coccyx, which is purposeless. It is known as the "vestigial tail."
Why is the breakdown of proteins a problem for animals?
The breakdown of proteins is a problem for animals for quite a few reasons. Proteins are complex and some animals don't have the ability to break them down.
Is it true if A plant makes its own proteins but an animal synthesizes the proteins it consumes as food?
false
What are all the disease proteins having no structure?
All proteins have structure.
What part of speech is quandary?
It is a noun - "I am in a quandary".
How does the structure of proteins differ from the structure of carbohydrates?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
How can you use quandary in a sentence?
I wasn't prepared for this quandary...
What level of protein structure is characteristic of some but not all proteins?
The quaternary level.
What is the three dimensional Structure of Keratin?
Keratin is a protein, so it has both a primary and secondary structure. In fact, all proteins have a primary and secondary structure, along with a tertiary and quaternary structure. There are many different ways proteins can be structured and shaped, so biochemists divide proteins into 4 separate parts or structures.
How are proteins similar?
Proteins may be similar in respect to their chemical nature at the level of element and amino acid structure. But they are actually different to each other as they form difference structure by their amino acids and do various specific functions. All the proteins are coded in our DNA.
What is the basis of a proteins function?
Proteins perform all of the required tasks, structure, and activity in living things. They are required for nearly all of the functions of an organism and without them, there would be no life.
What genetic disorder results in protein abnormalities?
All genetic disorders affect the structure of proteins.
How proteins help the support the structure and function of DNA?
DNA is packaged very tight by proteins. Proteins found around the DNA supports both the structure and functions. The proteins and the DNA make up the chromosomes. Proteins and DNA in animal cells are chromatin! DNA contains information because of the DNA's structure!
What is the structure that produces proteins?
Prostate
What structure has two or more proteins aggregated together?
Quarternary structure.
