The molecular structure of lactic acid contains the following functional groups: a methyl group (–CH3), a hydroxyl group (–OH), and a carboxyl group (–COOH).
Thus, the correct response is:
A methyl group, a hydroxyl group, and a carboxyl group.
Use the diagram of the molecular structure of lactic acid to answer the question.
An illustration shows the structure of lactic acid as C single bond C with functional groups CH3 and OH attached to the first C atom and O and OH attached to the second C atom.
