**Title: Understanding Stereochemistry through Molecular Structures**
**Text:**
Modify the existing drawings to draw both stereoisomers of this compound.
**Diagrams:**
1. **First Diagram:**
- The molecular structure shows a carbon chain with two carboxyl groups (COOH) attached at both ends.
- A hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to the second carbon from the left.
- This configuration illustrates one stereoisomer.
2. **Second Diagram:**
- This structure is similar to the first, with the hydroxyl group (OH) again attached to the second carbon.
- The orientation of the groups is altered to represent a different stereoisomer.
**Instructions:**
- Students are encouraged to interact with the molecular drawing tool using the "Edit Drawing" button.
- Experiment with altering the bonds and orientations to understand the concept of stereoisomerism in organic chemistry.
**Objective:**
Learners will gain a practical understanding of how molecular orientation affects chemical properties and the concept of stereoisomers.
