Answer:

The hydroxyl and carbonyl groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen occurs in these two common function groups: Hydroxyl groups have 1 hydrogen paired with one oxygen atom. Hydroxyl groups are not highly reactive, but they readily form hydrogen bonds and contribute to making molecules soluble in water.
