Best Answer

in cellular respiration, there are three main steps

1) glycolysis: in this step, 2 ATP are used and 4 ATP are made, for a net of 2 ATP per glucose molecule

2) citric acid cycle (kreb's cycle): 2 ATP are made per glucose molecule

3) oxidative phosphorylation [electron transport chain and chemiosmosis]: 32 to 34 ATP are made

For a total of 2 + 2 + 32 to 34 = 36 to 38 ATP created in cellular respiration

During the complete process of cellular respiration, between 36 to 38 ATP are formed. Two during glycolysis, 2 during the Krebs/Citric acid cycle, and either 32 or 34 from oxidative phophorylation which includes the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.

40 total ATP are produced.

2 are consumed during Glycolysis, providing a net of 38 total ATP per 1 cycle.
