Identify the functional groups listed in the problem: amino group, carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and carbonyl group.
Understand the structure of each functional group: an amino group contains a nitrogen atom bonded to hydrogen atoms, a carboxyl group contains a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group, a hydroxyl group contains an -OH group, and a carbonyl group contains a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom.
Focus on the description given in the problem: a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group.
Match the description to the correct functional group: the carboxyl group fits this description as it contains a carbonyl (C=O) and a hydroxyl (OH) group.
Conclude that the functional group characterized by a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group is the carboxyl group.
