Humans (and most, and if, not all other organisms) need nitrogen is to produce protein. Oxygen is used up in respiration to help produce energy used by the human (and other organisms, but not plants) body.
Humans breathe a mixture of gases in air, not just nitrogen. Nitrogen itself is not harmful to humans in normal concentrations found in the atmosphere. However, breathing pure nitrogen can displace oxygen in the lungs and lead to asphyxiation.
Oxygen we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide
Humans need oxygen to survive. Oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration, which allows our cells to produce energy. Without a steady supply of oxygen, our organs and tissues would not function properly.
By eating plants
the most abundant gas is nitrogen answered by Isabella camera 10/18/10
No, humans do not need nitrogen to breathe for survival. The air we breathe is primarily made up of oxygen, with only a small amount of nitrogen.
oxygen..a lil nitrogen

oxygen
In order to live.
because you need air to live.
Humans need oxygen to survive as it is essential for cellular respiration. They also need carbon dioxide to a certain extent, as it is a byproduct of respiration and must be removed from the body. Nitrogen is also important for normal metabolic processes, but not as critical as oxygen.
I believe not because they are living things and need oxygen instead or they only need something to live in to reproduce and live.
Animals and plants need nitrogen to live because proteins and other biological compounds contain nitrogen. In plants, nitrogen compounds perform photosynthesis. In humans, nitrogen is the basis for amino acids, the building blocks of genetic material.
Humans breathe a mixture of gases in air, not just nitrogen. Nitrogen itself is not harmful to humans in normal concentrations found in the atmosphere. However, breathing pure nitrogen can displace oxygen in the lungs and lead to asphyxiation.
The atmosphere contains Nitrogen, a gas that humans need to breakdown protein. Nitrogen take up 78 percent of it. Oxygen is found in the atmosphere (let's assume that you knew that). We all know what the Oxygen does... right?
Nitrogen displaces oxygen in the confined space, leading to a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream when breathed in by the person. This can rapidly lead to unconsciousness and ultimately death due to oxygen deprivation. Nitrogen itself is not toxic, but the lack of oxygen is what causes harm.
