Best Answer

Human waste is the result of digestion and respiration. The resulting material that the body cannot effectively burn or convert into energy is expelled as waste. (Liquid waste as urine, solid waste as feces.) Interesting fact: Remember that all organic products are compounds of varying levels of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Oxygen. Sometimes, other chemicals are added, but these are the five basic elements of life. Therefore, waste is often no different from the food that is eaten in the first place, just a higher Nitrogen and Phosphorus concentration. (This does NOT mean you should eat it, just not be so grossed out if you step in it. :) )

Excretion is the casting off of waste products. The excretory system is the system in the body that collects waste produced by the cells and removes the waste from the body.
