A total of 38 ATP are generated but since it takes 2 ATP to begin the process, the get gain is 36 ATP.
There are 6 atoms of oxygen in a molecule of glucose (C6H12O6).
Glucose (C6H12O6) is a monosaccharide that contains twelve hydrogen atoms, six carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms. A glucose and fructose molecule combine to create a sucrose molecule.

Acetyl coenzyme A is produced twice from one molecule of glucose in the process of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Each glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate during glycolysis, and each pyruvate molecule is converted to one molecule of acetyl CoA before entering the citric acid cycle.
In anaerobic respiration one glucose molecule produces a net gain of two ATP molecules (four ATP molecules are produced during glycolysis but two are required by enzymes used during the process). In aerobic respiration a molecule of glucose is much more profitable in that a net worth of 34 ATP molecules are generated (32 gross with two being required in the process).
