4 NH₃ + 3O₂ --> 2N₂ + 6H₂O
First, make sure that this is a balanced equation.
There are 4 moles of nitrogen on the left side, and 4 moles of nitrogen on the right side.
There are 12 moles of hydrogen on the left side, and 12 moles of hydrogen on the right side.
There are 6 moles of oxygen on the left side, and 6 moles of oxygen on the right side.
The equation is therefore balanced, and we may proceed.
a) the mole ratio for NH₃ to N₂ is 4 to 2, which can be simplified to 2:1 or 2/1.
b) the mole ratio for H₂O to O₂ is 6 to 3, which can be simplified to 2:1 or 2/1.

In an ecosystem, the only true producers are autotrophic organisms like plants and bacteria. These organisms produce energy by converting the energy from the sun into simple sugars.
All of the other organisms in the food chain, like the fruit fly, are simply consuming the energy produced by the plants/bacteria and not actually making/producing energy from a new source.
