The pancreas delivers the digestive juice to the small intestine through small tubes called ducts. Liver. Your liver makes a digestive juice called bile that helps digest fats and some vitamins.
A functional group is a portion of a molecule that is a recognizable/classified group of bound. atoms. In organic chemistry it is very common to see molecules comprised mainly of a carbon. backbone with functional groups attached to the chain. The functional group gives the molecule. its properties, regardless of what molecule contains it*; they are centers of chemical reactivity. The functional groups within a molecule need to be identified when naming. *Definition taken from Lecture Supplement, First Edition by Steven Hardinger, Copyright 2008.
Benzyl acetate has an ester functional group (in red), an acetyl moiety (circled with dark green) and a benzyloxy moiety (circled with light orange).Other divisions can be made. functional group is a moiety that participates in similar chemical reactions in most molecules that contain it. In turn the parts of the group are termed moieties. For example, methyl para-hydroxybenzoate contains a phenol functional group within the acyl moiety, which in turn is part of the paraben moiety.
