You should just go over how to name simple ones of each of those compounds because it might come up on a test
You're going to see this in the organic section of the PCATs, it could show up as a reaction:

the answer being ester
But this could be a nomenclature problem and there wouldn't be any labels. Just learn how to recognize them
