Functional groups
1. are the repeating unit of polymers.
2. are groups of atoms whose chemical prop-
erties are pretty much independent of their
chemical environment.
3. perform specific biological functions using
molecular recognition.
4. are a fictitious concept like oxidation
numbers (useful but not real).
I believe it's 3 but I'm not sure. Can anybody give an answer and explanation? Thanks!

Nuts to 3. Functional groups do not perform specific biological functions, nor are they in polymers.
Should it be 4 then?
And it CERTAINLY is not 4.
Its 2. I had this question on a quiz
