1. Functional Groups Amphetamine-related drugs bear a striking resemblance to the neurotransmitters dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE). The structural similarities between amphetamine and neurotransmitters provide clues about the drugs' mechanisms of action. Which two functional groups do the neurotransmitters and the amphetamines have in common (2 points)? Circle and label the two common functional groups among all the molecular structures (6 points) Dopamine Norepinephrine ??
