it goes through your body and comes out as carbon dioxide. trees use the carbon dioxide to make more nitrogen that you breathe again.

How does nitrogen go in your body?

Nitrogen enters the body primarily through the consumption of protein-rich foods. When proteins are broken down during digestion, nitrogen is released and absorbed by the body. This nitrogen is used to build new proteins and perform various biological functions.


How does Nitrogen oxide get into the body?

Nitrogen oxide can enter the body through inhalation of polluted air or occupational exposure in industries where it is used. Once inhaled, it can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs and affect various organs and systems in the body.


What molecule contains carbon hydrogen oxygen and nitrogen which is used by the body for growth and repair?

Protein is the molecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and is used by the body for growth and repair. It is composed of amino acids that are essential for building and repairing tissues in the body.


Why do you breathe in more nitrogen than oxygen?

The air we breathe is about 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. While we do breathe in more nitrogen than oxygen, our lungs extract and use the oxygen for cellular respiration, which is essential for producing energy, and we exhale the nitrogen along with other gases. This process helps maintain the balance of gases in our bloodstream and tissues.


Negative nitrogen balance occurs in?

Negative nitrogen balance occurs in conditions where nitrogen excretion exceeds nitrogen intake, such as during severe illness, malnutrition, or starvation. It indicates a breakdown of body tissues for energy and can lead to muscle wasting and impaired healing.

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.)

Why doesn't our body use nitrogen?

Nitrogen is primarily used by the body to build proteins and nucleic acids, but our bodies do not have a direct physiological need for elemental nitrogen gas. The nitrogen in the air we breathe is not in a form that our bodies can readily utilize for metabolic processes.

Nitrogen is not used by the body; oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide and water goes out.


When nitrogen taken into the body exceeds nitrogen losses?

Excess nitrogen in the body can be used for muscle protein synthesis or be converted into urea and excreted by the kidneys as urine. Adequate protein intake and regular exercise help maximize the benefits of excess nitrogen for muscle growth and repair.
