 (4 pts) Gingerol, a compound found in fresh ginger that activates

(4 pts) Gingerol, a compound found in fresh ginger that activates spice receptors on the tongue, is shown below. Circle and name 5 different functional groups (for example ether or alkyne) that are found within this single organic compound (please note: "alkane" is a name that is only used in the absence of other functional groups, so don't include it in your list). Make sure you circle all of the necessary atoms used to identify the group (i.e. carbonyls are components of at least 6 different functional groups, so circling a carbonyl doesn't indicate any particular family). Only use one example of any given kind of functional group, and do not list more than 5 answers
