Answer:

Metabolites

It needs to be water soluble or polar so that it can be excreted thus most Xenos we take are lipophilic

After the metabolic (chemical breakdown) and urinary excretion called biotransformation through enzymes in the liver, what are the end-products of this process called "metabolites".

Step-by-step explanation:

The process which involves chemical changes of molecules in the organism like nutrients, amino acids, toxins, and medications is understood as "Biotransformation". Toxicokinetics may be controlled by biotransformation of xenobiotics, and the metabolites that reach higher levels in species than their parental substances. An instance of a biotransformation is the metabolism of a drug or toxin in one body. Usually, the body interacts with a foreign compound by rendering it more water-soluble, to increase the rate of its urine excretion.
