36
Explanation: The classic textbook yield for aerobic respiration of one glucose is about 36 ATP — 2 from glycolysis, 2 from the citric acid cycle (GTP), and the rest (~32) from oxidative phosphorylation (NADH/FADH2 electron transport). (Modern estimates range ~30–32 ATP depending on shuttle efficiency.)
