Ammonia planets

+0
−0

In an alien atmosphere, where methane is the main gas instead of oxygen and ammonia is the main solvent instead of water. Similar to how photosynthesis on earth plants work, by taking in carbon dioxide and water to create glucose (source of food) and oxygen (waste product). What gas would plants on this planet take in alongside ammonia that would result in the release of methane as a waste product as well as their source of food.

enter image description here

For visual perspective- NH3 + ____ + energy = ____ + CH4 Atmospheric composition if needed: Nitrogen- 93% Methane- 6% Other trace gases- 1%

I hope this is more clear
