Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbon dioxide and water are exhaled and/or eliminated through the kidneys respectively. Feces and sweat are not waste products generated by metabolism. Oxygen is actually necessary for metabolism and is not a waste product. Therefore, the correct answer is urea, which is a waste product generated by the breakdown of proteins in the liver and eliminated through the kidneys.
