Nitrogen is an essential component in amino and nucleic acids which are used to make proteins! It is a component of all living tissues. In plants, nitrogen is a component of chlorophyll which is needed for photosynthesis. It is important in the nitrogen cycle, bacteria can fix nitrogen so it is available to plants, animals contain nitrogen in the form of amino acids in order to make proteins and nucleic acids.
That is a short answer for you.

Before proteins can enter cells, the bonds linking adjacent amino acids (peptide bonds) must be hydrolyzed; this process releases the amino acids constituting the protein. The utilization of dietary proteins thus requires the operation of extracellular digestive enzymes; i.e., enzymes outside the cell. Many microorganisms secrete such enzymes into the nutrient media in which they are growing; animals secrete them into the gut. The turnover of proteins within cells, on the other hand, requires the functioning of intracellular enzymes that catalyze the splitting of the peptide bonds linking adjacent amino acids; little is known about the mechanism involved.
Amino acids may be described by the general formula RCH(NH2)COOH, or RCH(NH3+)COO-, in which R represents a specific chemical moiety. The catabolic fate of amino acids involves (1) removal of nitrogen, (2) disposal of nitrogen, and (3) oxidation of the remaining carbon skeleton.

because we want it to construct our bodies. Proteins, which we use for advance, and to carry our body cells jointly, are made from Amino acids. Amino acids contain Nitrogen, so without Nitrogen we gained't have proteins. without proteins we gained't carry our cells jointly, so advance can't take position.

Nitrogen is essential to life as we know it. It is one of the constituent elements of amino acids.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and the basis of DNA.

Nitrogen is the main component of amino acids, wich combined make protein, wich is what we're built of
