Answer :

Surfactant deficiency due to undeveloped lungs (in premature infants)  suggest respiratory distress in an​ infant, but would be less likely to be observed in an​ adult beacuse in adults , lungs are fully developed and lack of surfactant is less.

Explanation:

Respiratory distress syndrome is a type of neonatal disease of respiration ,caused by deficiency of the surfactant produced by type II alveolar cells in the lungs most commonly in premature infants.

Normally , the lungs of the fetus start the formation of the surfactant during the third trimester (26 weeks through labor and delivery ) but in the premature infants , the lungs are not totally developed , hence lack of surfactant production results in the respiratory distress syndrome charactarized by inflammation of the airways due to the lack of the surface tension lowring effect of the surfactant.

Match the functional groups with their structures:
evablogger [386]
The true answer of your question is :

OH : HYDROXYL GROUP

NH2 : AMINO GROUP

CH3 : METHYL GROUP ( but in rather broader terms, that functional group of formula CnH2n+1 where n is an integer is called ALKYL GROUP where by substituting n by 1,2,3... we obtain methyl for n = 1, ethyl for n = 2, and propyl for n = 3 )

COOH : CARBOXYL GROUP is the correct answer since carbonyl is characterized by the presence of functional group C=O in general the formula of the compound would be
R-C=O-R’ where R and R’ are alkyl groups like methyl for example. However the carboxyl group could be thought of as a summation of carbonyl + hydroxyl ( CO + OH ) resulting thus in COOH.
