Final answer:

Aerobic respiration produces a net total of 36 ATPs for every glucose molecule that is oxidized.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aerobic respiration produces a net total of 36 ATPs for every glucose molecule that is oxidized. This includes ATP generated during glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. NADH molecules produced during these processes have the potential to generate more ATP than FADH2 molecules.
