Detailed explanation-2: -Excretion is the process where all the metabolic wastes are removed from the body. Excretion in humans is carried through different body parts and internal organs in a series of processes. Diffusion is the most common process of excretion in lower organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Liquid and soluble wastes such as urea, ions, and water are removed from the body as sweat and urine. Solid and insoluble wastes are removed from the body as feces. Carbon dioxide is removed from the body by the lungs when we exhale. Waste removal is one of the ways the body maintains homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -You remove waste as a gas (carbon dioxide), as a liquid (urine and sweat), and as a solid. Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. Recall that carbon dioxide travels through the blood and is transferred to the lungs where it is exhaled.
