Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Urea, ammonia and creatinine are metabolic waste products in protein metabolism. ‘Metabolic wastes’ also called ‘excrements’, are substances that are formed as by-products in the metabolic processes. These cannot be utilised by the organism and when accumulated in surplus can be toxic. Hence they must be excreted out.

Detailed explanation-2: -Metabolic waste is the left over products of both catabolism and anabolism. This waste includes salts, phosphates, sulfates, excess substances, and nitrogenous wastes like urea which are eliminated through urine.
