True or false: Glucose serves as the primary metabolic fuel of the fetus.

True or false: FAD and FADH2 are involved in redox reactions in glucose metabolism.

True or false: ATP is primarily consumed in the synthesis of hormones and cell membranes.

True or false: Glucose can readily diffuse through the cell membrane due to its low molecular weight.

True or false: Glucose is the major precursor for the synthesis of nucleotides like ribose and deoxyribose.
