2 ATP.
Explanation: The Krebs (citric acid) cycle produces 1 ATP (as GTP) per turn. Since one glucose yields two acetyl-CoA molecules, the cycle turns twice per glucose, giving 2 ATP directly. (Additional ATP equivalents come later from the NADH and FADH2 produced in the cycle via oxidative phosphorylation.)
