Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When cells undergo normal metabolism, they produce heat, carbon dioxide, and water as byproducts through the process of cellular respiration. This process requires oxygen and glucose and results in the production of ATP, which is used as energy by the cells. Lactic acid is only produced when there is insufficient oxygen for cellular respiration to occur, and it is not excreted by the kidneys. Decreased amounts of oxygen would actually limit the ability of cells to carry out metabolism. ATP is not excreted by the lungs, it is used by the cells for energy.
