In a far-off planet glucose does not exist.  Yet, the organisms on the planet are still capable of undergoing cellular respiration. Predict what the molecule would look like since these organisms are capable of cellular respiration. Below is Glucose                                                                   Chemical Formula C6H12O6                                                                               What would the chemical formula of your molecule? Justify why these organisms are capable of undergoing cellular respiration without the use of glucose.  Use specific evidence from both molecules and cellular respiration.
