Question
How do you explain the presence of five —OH groups in glucose molecule?

Answer

Glucose gives penta-acetyl derivative on acetylation with acetic anhydride.
$\text{CHO}| (\text{CHOH})_4|\text{CH}_2\text{OH}|\text{CH}_2\text{OH}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{CHO}|(\text{CHOCOCH}_3)_4|\text{CH}_2\text{OH}_2\text{OCOCH}_3$
This confirms the presence of five -OH groups.
