Answer:

32 ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two cycle i.e glycolysis and the citric acid cycle that generates ATP. In an electron transport chain reaction, an electron is moved through different electron transporters via redox reaction thereby creating a concentration gradient. Hydrogen ions diffuse through these concentration gradients out of the matrix which powers the phosphorylation of ADP to produce ATP.

Along with ATP, other energy molecules like NADPH and FADH2 are also released, thereby making the total count of ATP equal to 32
