oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration but nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation thus occurs on low scale on other hand

oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc thus means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is more then nitrogen ,if there was more oxygen then it would lead to a blast every time there was a spark

Why does air have more nitrogen than oxygen?

Air has more nitrogen (about 78%) than oxygen (about 21%) because nitrogen is less reactive and more abundant in the Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen is a stable gas and doesn't easily react with other elements, making it a major component of air. Oxygen levels are sufficient for supporting life, but nitrogen's abundance and stability have led to its higher concentration.
