Sugar glucose is an organic compound which composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The functional groups present in the sugar glucose are hydroxyl, aldehyde groups.

From the given options, only hydroxyl group allows the sugar glucose to dissolve in blood.

Hence, the correct option is, (b) hydroxyl group.

At which point does the motion of convention currents occur to drive plate movement

OLEGan [10]

Answer: 2

The convection currents shown in points 1 and 3 transfer heat from the outer core (number 4) to the lithosphere. Here, the lower density hot magma breaks apart the plates at point 2 creating a divergent plate boundary. This new magma mass will drive a lateral movement of the plates. The edges of the plates which have a higher density basalt rock will sink into the mantle and get consumed in trenches/subduction zones
