Because the nitrogen in the air is in a form not usable to animals and plants. The only way animals get nitrogen to build protein and nucleic acid is by eating it. This is usually through plants, which get there nitrogen from the soil. They get it from the soil because bacteria in the soil turn the atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form.
In a water ecosystem cyanobacteria (a.k.a. blue-green algae) transform the nitrogen from the atmosphere into usable forms of nitrate
Yes. But why does Titan have air and not the Earth's moon? If we say, because Titan is colder, then why do some of the large moons of Saturn and Jupiter have no air?
The air that we breathe in 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. We only need the oxygen though, so we breathe out the other gases with the carbon dioxide that our body produces during respiration. So to answer your question, it is nitrogen, but we breathe it in and then out- we don't use it. The only gas we use is oxygen to breathe.
Nitrogen does enter the body. Remember, we don't breathe in just oxygen and carbon dioxide. we breathe in AIR and it contains many gases. We only utilize Oxygen for respiration. Though nitrogen is needed by our body, we only take it in the from of food in our diet. The nitrogen we breathe in is an inert gas meaning it does not react with any substance. So the nitrogen we breathe in is breathed out eventually.
Nitrogen
As they breathe it out naturally they will breathe some back in. So the answer is no if in small doses
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.
No, it is not possible for humans to breathe nitrogen as our bodies require oxygen to survive. Nitrogen makes up about 78 of the air we breathe, but it is inert and does not support respiration.
No, humans cannot breathe nitrogen safely as it does not provide the necessary oxygen for respiration. Breathing pure nitrogen can lead to asphyxiation and suffocation.
Yes, humans breathe in nitrogen as a part of the air they inhale. Nitrogen makes up about 78 of the Earth's atmosphere.
On average, humans breathe out about 3.5% of nitrogen in exhaled air, which is roughly 78% of the air we breathe in. This nitrogen is not utilized by the body and is simply exhaled back into the atmosphere.
No, humans do not breathe in nitrogen as a part of the air they inhale. The air we breathe is mostly made up of oxygen, with a small amount of other gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
No, humans do not need to breathe nitrogen for survival. The air we breathe is mostly made up of oxygen, with only a small amount of nitrogen. Our bodies use the oxygen in the air for respiration, not the nitrogen.
It reduces the oxygen in the area because humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out nitrogen.[plants breathe in nitrogen and breathe out oxygen for humans.so without trees.Humans will not survive
because the haemoglobin present in our blood has no capacity to absorb nitrogen so the result is that the nitrogen is not absorbed and you breathe out the same amount of nitrogen as you breathed in.......
Yes. The air is 21% oxygen which is what humans run on. It is 79% nitrogen which we filter out. I learned this today in Health class.
Air/gas animals and humans breathe in, and a little bit of nitrogen is included in the air it has just breathed in.
life created the atmosphere through repiration and if we humans some how evolve to breathe nitrogen we can breathe something else out like Carbon Nitroxide
