A) Amino acids can be used to synthesize both essential and non-essential amino acids.
B) Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen for energy storage.
C) Glycerol is also used to synthesize triglycerides for energy storage, but can also be used to synthesize phospholipids for cell membranes.
D) Acetyl groups from the breakdown of fatty acids can be used to synthesize cholesterol.
E) Amino acids are the building blocks for protein synthesis. 
F) Glucose is not used to synthesize heptose sugars for DNA and RNA. Instead, the pentoses ribose and deoxyribose are synthesized from glucose via the pentose phosphate pathway.
