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.
Carboxyl group is a functional group in organic chemistry. This is found in carboxylic acids, hence got the name. In this, a carbon atom is double bonded to an oxygen atom and connected to a hydroxyl group with a single bond. It is shown as âCOOH. The carbon atom can form another bond with an atom besides these groups.
