Q

As the name
clearly implies it is the part of the
molecule which makes it ‘function’
the way it does. To give an analogy:
think of a bus. The driver at the
steering is the one responsible for
the whole bus’ motion hence its
function, the passengers filling up
the bus but don’t really do anything
towards the bus
