Smell is vital for survival of most humans and animals as it enables them to track food and water, find a mate and even communicate. Although our sense of smell is not as acute as other animals we know that humans are able to detect up to 10,000 different odor molecules.

Answer:

because some chemical reactions release gases which may be odourless or may have smell, in order to identify it it is necessary to have a good sense of smell.
