36 ATP.
Briefly: aerobic cellular respiration (per glucose) yields about 36 ATP total — from glycolysis (net 2 ATP), the Krebs cycle (2 ATP/GTP), and oxidative phosphorylation (the rest from NADH/FADH2). Note: more recent/accurate estimates often give ~30–32 ATP because of shuttle and proton-leak differences.
