Proteins are polymers of amino acid monomers. Proteins are the chemical "workhorses" and "structural building blocks" of living things.

Why do living things need nitrogen?

Living things need nitrogen because it is an essential element for building proteins, DNA, and other important molecules in their bodies. Nitrogen is a key component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, and is also necessary for the growth and development of plants and animals. Without enough nitrogen, living things would not be able to function properly and would struggle to survive.
