Identify the structure of Vitamin A, which is also known as retinol.
Examine the molecular structure of retinol to determine the functional groups present.
Recall that an aldehyde group is characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to at least one hydrogen atom.
Look for the presence of a carbonyl group in the structure of Vitamin A and check if it is bonded to a hydrogen atom, indicating an aldehyde.
Compare the identified functional group in Vitamin A with the options provided: Carboxylic acid, Aldehyde, Alcohol, and Ketone, to confirm that the aldehyde group is present.
