Solution

Nitrogen in humans:

  1. Nitrogen is abundant in the environment but humans can’t use it directly from air or soil.
  2. So, humans depend upon green plants and microbes to convert them into a usable form for using them.
  3. Nitrogen is an important component and is used to make amino acids, which in turn is used to make proteins.
