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.

Why do humans need to breathe in oxygen?

In order to live.


Why is nitrogen and oxygen a main condition for life?

because you need air to live.


What gases do humans need to survive?

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.


Do nitrogen need bacteria why or why not?

I believe not because they are living things and need oxygen instead or they only need something to live in to reproduce and live.


Why do animals need nitrigen to 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.


Why human not die breathing mostly nitrogen in atmosphere?

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.


What does the atmosphere contain that humans need?

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?


How does nitrogen cause death when a human enters a confined space purged with nitrogen?

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.
