The waste products of aerobic metabolism include:

  1. ATP and glucose

  2. carbon dioxide and water

  3. glucose and lactic acid

  4. uric acid and nitrogen

The correct answer is: ATP and glucose

The waste products of aerobic metabolism are carbon dioxide and water. During aerobic metabolism, cells use oxygen to break down glucose into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. ATP and glucose are not waste products but rather play essential roles in cellular energy production. Glucose and lactic acid are byproducts of anaerobic metabolism, not aerobic metabolism. Uric acid and nitrogen are not typically waste products of aerobic metabolism.
