Ammonia is a compound cloud now but how would it look like if a planet has oceans that are, say, 50% ammonia and 50% water? Can ammonia based cells in mixed oceans have contractive vacuoles for maintaining a 100% ammonia cytoplasm? There are planets with hydrocarbon oceans
Can hydrocarbons act like glucose? There are bacteria that consume methane* and heavier hydrocarbons*. Petroleum doesn’t mix with water or ammonia. Can there be a hydrocarbon patch in the the patch map for planets with hydrocarbons floating on water/ammonia oceans?
