Unique chemical groups that confer special properties to an organic molecule are called:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional groups are responsible for giving specific chemical and physical properties to organic molecules. They have specific functional properties such as acidity, reactivity, polarity, and solubility. Examples of functional groups include hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, and phosphate groups. Monomers are the building blocks of macromolecules and amino acids are the monomers of proteins, and lipids refer to a broad category of organic molecules, none of which inherently have unique chemical groups that confer special properties.
