Solution

The waste products that are exchanged between the blood in the capillaries and the body tissues are:

  1. Urea: This is a waste product of protein metabolism that is produced in the liver, transported in the blood, and excreted by the kidneys.

  2. Carbon dioxide: This is a waste product of cellular respiration, which is the process by which cells produce energy. Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood to the lungs, where it is excreted during exhalation.

The other substances listed (glucose, oxygen, proteins, and amino acids) are not waste products. They are essential for the body's functioning. Glucose and oxygen are used by cells to produce energy, while proteins and amino acids are used for growth and repair.
