What does quaternary consumer?

A quaternary consumer is an animal that feeds on tertiary consumers, which are carnivores that eat other carnivores. Quaternary consumers are typically apex predators at the top of the food chain and have few or no predators of their own. An example of a quaternary consumer could be a large shark that preys on smaller sharks or marine mammals.


What animals lived in the Quaternary Period?

During the Quaternary Period, animals such as mammoths, sabertooth cats, woolly rhinoceros, giant ground sloths, and early humans roamed the Earth. The Quaternary Period also saw the rise of modern mammal species like elephants, bears, and wolves.


The dominant species of the quaternary period is?

homo sapians. or Humans were the dominate species !


Is it true that 0.1 percent of the energy in a food chain generally makes it from the sun to quaternary consumers?

no


Do all proteins have quandary structure?

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.
