Answer:

Metabolic waste, such as excess sodium, appears in the _urine__, whereas food components that are not digested or absorbed, such as fiber, appear in the _stool_.

Step-by-step explanation:

Urine includes metabolic waste. Metabolic waste consists of compounds, such as excess sodium, which have been absorbed out of the cells, blood, and elsewhere by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Stool contains non-digested or ingested products, such as fiber or a paperclip. Such objects travel into the large intestines, where the body extracts water and minerals, and stores the remains as stool
