I would say carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is the "standard" type of respiration that occurs in our body. The chemical equation for it is:

#C_6H_12O_6(aq)+6O_2(g)->6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)#

As you can see here from the equation, the final products are carbon dioxide #(CO_2)# and water #(H_2O)#. During the process, glucose #(C_6H_12O_6)# is converted into #"ATP"#, the energy-carrying molecule, through a few steps, such as glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
