For a cell to maintain homeostasis, the waste products of cellular respiration—water and carbon dioxide—must be excreted from the cell. Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) They must be excreted from the cell.
During cellular respiration, cells break down sugars to release energy. In this process, water and carbon dioxide are produced as waste products. What must happen to these waste products for a cell to maintain homeostasis? a They must be excreted from the cell. b They must be used for photosynthesis. c They must be digested and used as food. d They must be permanently stored inside the cell.
