Nitrogen already makes up about 80% of the air. It's hard to imagine a scenario in which "too much nitrogen being released" would add any appreciable (or even detectable) amount to that, and even if there were, nitrogen is very nearly inert under conditions we normally see on Earth. So pretty much nothing would happen to the environment.

What happens if there is too much nitrogen in the blood?

Too much nitrogen in the blood can lead to a condition called azotemia, which can cause symptoms like fatigue, confusion, and weakness. It can also be associated with kidney problems or other underlying health issues that need to be addressed.


Why is there so much nitrogen in the air?

Nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere because it is an inert gas that is not easily reactive with other elements. It is continuously cycled through the environment by processes like nitrogen fixation and denitrification.


What will happen if there is too much percentage of nitrogen?

If there is too much nitrogen in the environment, it can lead to nutrient imbalances in the ecosystem, causing issues like algal blooms in water bodies, decreased oxygen levels, and disruption of the natural balance of plant and animal populations. Excessive nitrogen can also contribute to air pollution and global warming through the release of nitrogen oxides.

Why is it benefitial for environment to have bacteria that obtain energy from dead organisms?

It is beneficial because it keep the nitrogen cycle going. Bacteria are decomposers and hence they decompose dead organisms. Dead organisms contains nitrogen compounds which are 'digested' by the bacteria during decomposition, after which ammonium ions (NH4-) are released into the soil. These ammonium ions are then undergo nitrification (oxidation of NH4 to NO2- then to NO3-). Following that, there can be assimilation (absorption of NO3- by the plant since plants need nitrogen to produce protein or nucleic acids) or denitrification (NO3- reduced into N2). So after assimilation, animals that consume plants also get nitrogen in their bodies. Hence when these nitrogen-containing plants and animals die and become dead organisms, they become decomposed by the bacteria and the nitrogen cycle repeats itself. This isn't the entire part of the nitrogen cycle but that's pretty much how bacteria decomposing dead organisms help the environment to keep a steady supply of nitrogen on Earth.
