C
Alcohol
D
Ether
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: Ketone, Amine, Alcohol, and Ether.
Understand the structure of each functional group: A ketone has a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two carbon atoms, an amine contains a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more alkyl or aryl groups, an alcohol has a hydroxyl group (-OH), and an ether has an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups.
Recognize that the question is asking for a functional group commonly found in macromolecules that contain nitrogen.
Recall that amines are a class of compounds that contain nitrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms, making them a common functional group in nitrogen-containing macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.
Conclude that the amine group is the correct answer, as it is the functional group that includes nitrogen and is commonly found in macromolecules.
