How do humans badly affect the nitrogen cycle?
they don't. humans are a part of the nitrogen cycle. we eat it in our food, it stays in our bodies, then it leaves our body when we die so it can be used again.
Does the air we breathe out contains more or less nitrogen?
The nitrogen is not absorbed in your body via lungs. So the amount of nitrogen in inhaled and exhaled air has to be same. Nitrogen protects your body from the harmful effects of 100 % oxygen.
Why doesn't the total amount of nitrogen change?
Nitrogen makes up 78% of air, so we obviously breathe it in and because our body doesnt 'NEED' Nitrogen, so however much you inhale, you can exhale the same amount as none of the Nitrogen is used up. hope it helped ;p x

What is nitrogen in the air used for in your body?
Your body is not capable of directly using the nitrogen in air. It is ultimately the source of the nitrogen in the proteins and other nitrogen-containing compounds in your body, but the precursors for these are (mostly) made by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil and then incorporated into molecules by plants. (The "mostly" is because some of the nitrogen used by plants comes from nitrates or ammonia applied as fertilizer.)
What is the function and uses of the nitrogen in your body?
