Life on Mars, Is It Carbon Based?

Is it likely to be carbon based? Is that an unlikely thing to be expecting? Ye, we were talking about microbial life only. So simple, single celled life forms akin to bacteria or kin to germs on earth. But in broad brush strokes, we would expect it to be similar. We ud expect to be able to recognize it id be based on complex carbon chemistry. E think life on mars woud ould still be organic. And we also think that most life that would be finding out in the solar system, or maybe on planets or bitting other stars in our galaxy is also likely to be water based.
