If our body needs oxygen in the air to live. then what the 77% of nitrogen do to our body?

1.27K views

as I was told from early education that the air we currently breathe in contains 21% oxygen and 77-ish% of nitrogen and the rest are other particles.

So I have a dumb question on what the body uses nitrogen we breathe in for?

Nothing. The funny thing is also that plants very much need nitrogen but they don’t get it from the air either.

A whole lot of nitrogen in the air and nobody wants it. It does help scatter light and give us a blue sky though so that’s nice.
