The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the process that converts nitrates (NO₃) and ammonia (NH₃) into nitrogen gas (N₂). This process is a part of the nitrogen cycle. 2. **Identifying the Process**: The conversion of nitrates and ammonia into nitrogen gas is known as **denitrification**. This process is essential for returning nitrogen to the atmosphere. 3. **Identifying the Organisms Involved**: Denitrification is primarily carried out by specific types of bacteria. The key organisms involved in this process include: - **Thiobacillus** - **Pseudomonas** 4. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the complete answer to the question is: - The process of conversion of NO₂, NO₃, and NH₃ to N₂ is called **denitrification** and is done by **Thiobacillus** and **Pseudomonas**.
