                                While nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, humans and animals cannot use it directly to produce proteins. The intricate process of how to convert nitrogen to protein relies on specialized microorganisms and plants, which transform atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form that eventually enters the food chain.
