  • Secreted water: This term refers to water that is released by glands or cells, such as saliva or mucus. It is not produced as a by-product of metabolic processes.
  • Metabolic water: This term refers to water that is produced internally as a by-product of chemical reactions within the body, such as dehydration synthesis reactions and aerobic respiration.

Summary: Metabolic water is the correct term for water produced as a by-product of dehydration synthesis reactions and aerobic respiration.
