Question

what does glyc/o mean?
a. gonad
b. labor
c. sugar
d. many

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In medical terminology, the combining form "glyc/o" (or "gluc/o") means sugar. For example, "glycemia" refers to the amount of sugar in the blood, and "glycogen" is a polysaccharide (a type of sugar - related molecule) that stores glucose in the body. Option a, "gonad", is related to reproductive organs and has the combining form "gonad/o". Option b, "labor", has the combining form "labor/o" or is related to terms like "parturition". Option d, "many", is related to the prefix "poly -". So the correct meaning of "glyc/o" is sugar.

Answer:

c. sugar
