Nitrogen is present in the air which is used by the leguminous and the insectivorous plants by changing it into nitrogenous compounds to protiensynthesise.
In laboratories it is used for freezing food in many cases.

Oxygen is essential for respiration in living organisms, nitrogen is important for plant growth and serves as a component of proteins and DNA, and carbon dioxide is used by plants in photosynthesis to produce oxygen and serves as a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged at the surface of the air sac. Oxygen is taken in from the air into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the air to be exhaled.
Burning uses oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. During combustion, when a material reacts with oxygen, it releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
The process that uses oxygen to make carbon dioxide is called cellular respiration. In this process, cells break down glucose molecules to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
The carbon oxygen cycle describes the interplay between carbon dioxide and oxygen in Earth's atmosphere, with plants absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and releasing oxygen, while animals and other organisms consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide through respiration.
During exercise, your body uses more oxygen to produce ATP for energy. This leads to a decrease in oxygen levels in the blood. As a byproduct of this increased oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide is produced and accumulates in the blood, leading to an increase in carbon dioxide levels.
