What are the functional group present in dopamine and thyroxine and pencillin
Answers
Explanation:
One of the catecholamine neurotransmitters in the brain. It is derived from tyrosine and is the precursor to norepinephrine and epinephrine. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (receptors, dopamine) mediate its action.

Thyroxine, also called 3,5,3′,5′-tetraiodothyronine, or T4, one of the two major hormones secreted by the thyroid gland (the other is triiodothyronine). Thyroxine’s principal function is to stimulate the consumption of oxygen and thus the metabolism of all cells and tissues in the body.
The Function of Thyroxine
Thyroxine is one of two hormones that together form what's referred to collectively as the thyroid hormone. Thyroxine travels through the blood to the target cells and is then converted to triiodothyronine, shortened to T3; think of T4 as the messenger, and T3 as the worker that carries out the order. T3 is the active form of thyroid hormone and is primarily responsible for your metabolism, which is the process by which your cells break down food and other substances into smaller molecules they can use.
Despite having been discovered almost 90 years ago, penicillins and related compounds, called cephalosporins, remain the most widely-used antibiotics in the world, accounting for nearly 60% of all total antibiotic consumption. From 2000 to 2010 global antibiotic use rose by 36%, and research and study into antibiotics and resistant bacteria continues as an essential and evolving science
