Animals will lose nitrogen when they die. This is whey decay and nitrogen is released as ammonia into the air.
Nitrogen is required by plants and animals for protein synthesis
The same reason humans do. People breath oxygen and nitrogen.
Nitrogen helps animals to build amino acids inside their bodies. These acids are essential for making proteins which are vital for the body.
eating the plants
Nitrogen is obtained by the plants in the mineral form.
Animals get nitrogen from plants.
Plants and animals die and decomposers break down their nitrogen containing molecules to ammonia. All animals get the nitrogen they need by eating plants, by eating other animals that ate plants, or by eating animals that ate animals that ate plants.
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.

== == Nitrogen is found in all living systems as part of the makeup of biological compounds. Nitrogen is obtained from the atmosphere by passing air over heated copper or iron. The oxygen is removed from the air, leaving nitrogen mixed with inert gases. Pure nitrogen is obtained by fractional distillation of liquid air; because liquid nitrogen has a lower boiling point than liquid oxygen, the nitrogen distills off first and can be collected.
Liquid Air
well, herbivores eat plants (which have nitrogen in them due to help from nitrogen fixating bacteria) then other animals eat herbivores. Since animals are heterotrophs they have to get their nutrients from other organisms.
Nitrogen can be obtained as a solid at very low temperature, under -210 0C.
Nitrogen
Animals such as deer eat plants that contain nitrogen. The nitrogen helps the animals build and repair cells. When that animal dies, the nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere.
