The yield is theoretically 36-38 molecules per glucose.

But this is not reached. A lesser number of molecules is usually the yield on most cases

THE ATPS PRODUCED IN GLYCOLYSIS PROCESS IS THIRTY EIGHT
GLYCOLYSIS TEN ATPS BUT TWO ARE USED IN GLUCOSE METABOLISM ATPS
CITRIC ACID CYCLE THIRTY
SO NET ATPS ARE THIRTY

REFRECE TO HARPER ILLUSTRATED BIOCHEMISTRY

That answer is SO wrong. 4 ATP are created in glycolysis, but 2 are used so it yields 2 ATP. No ATP is created in Acetyl Co A. 2 ATP are yielded in the Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle. The Electron Transport Chain yields 32 - 34 ATP. 32 - 34 + the 4 ATP from previous processed = 36 - 38 ATP.
