An ecosystem is a biological environment consisting of all the organisms living in a particular area‚ as well as all the nonliving or abiotic‚ physical components of the environment with which the organisms interact‚ such as air‚ soil‚ water and sunlight. In a typical ecosystem‚ plants and other photosynthetic organisms are the producers that provide the food. (Leibold) Ecosystems can be permanent or temporary and they usually form a number of food webs. Examples of ecosystem include: Marine Ecosystems:

performance and economy. An automotive propulsion concept is presented which utilizes liquid nitrogen as the working fluid for an open Rankine cycle. The principle of operation is like that of a steam engine‚ except there is no combustion involved. Liquid nitrogen is pressurized and then vaporized in a heat exchanger by the ambient temperature of the surrounding air. The resulting high – pressure nitrogen gas is fed to the engine converting pressure into mechanical power. The usage of cryogenic

(low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide‚ which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightningstrikes and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions. The chemicals in acid rain

the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited spaces (although some scientists say that the entire planet is an ecosystem). Energy‚ water‚ nitrogen and soil minerals are other essential abiotic components of an ecosystem. The energy that flows through ecosystems is obtained primarily from the sun. It generally enters the system through photosynthesis‚ a process that also captures carbon from

biofertilizer advantages include sustaining soil health‚ supplement chemical fertilizers‚ increase grain yield‚ secrete plant growth substances‚ solubilize and mobilize nutrients. Nitrogen fixation biofertilizers were the most dominant product in the market and accounted for over 75% in 2012. Increasing prices of nitrogen fixation chemical fertilizers has also had an impact on driving biofertilizer adoption rate. Phosphate solubilizing biofertilizers are expected to witness fastest growth over the

distributed throughout the zeolite. The metal used will be a specifically a water soluble metal cyanide complex where in this case it is iron. The catalyst is being used in various industries and the two main industries that use it will be the removal of nitrogen oxides in industrial exhaust gas and for the catalytic cracking of heavy oil. Finally this catalyst is being characterized using three methods which are the infrared spectra‚ X-ray diffraction as well as the TGA and DTA methods. 2.0 Introduction

Oxygen is used in the mitochondria of plant cells. Symbiotic hemoglobin known as leghemoglobin‚ is foun"d in the root nodules of leguminous plants. Leghemoglobin functions as an oxygen carrying red pigment caused by symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The nitrogen fixing bacteria Rhizobia is what affects the roots of the plants causing leghemoglobin to be produced as a part of the symbiotic interaction between the bacterium and the plants. Leghemoglobin supplies the respiring bacterium cells with
