in the first stage of cellular respiration (glycolysis) glucose goes through many changes with the final product being 2 molecules of pyruvate. in this process, a net of 2 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 water molecules are produced.
in the next stage (pyruvate oxidation) the pyruvate molecules from glycolysis give up a carbon atom, hydrogen atom, and electon to create carbon dioxide and NADH. the remainer of the pyruvate molecule hooks up with a coenzyme-a, making acetyl-CoA, which helps to start the kreb cycle.
in the kreb cycle (the third stage) acetyl-CoA loses its coenzyme-a and hooks up with oxaloacetate which creats citrate. like glycoclysis, a series of molecules are produced with the final product being oxaloacetate (since the final product is starting product, this cylce is continuous). remember since there were 2 pyruvate molecules, this cycle happens twice. so, at the end of two cycle, 2ATP, 6NADH, 2FADH, and 4 carbon dioxide molecules are formed.
and finally in the last stage (electron transport chain), all the NADH and FADH are oxidized creating ATP.
32 ATP from electron transport chain + 2 ATP from glycolysis+ 2 ATP from kreb cycle = 36 ATP.

during cellular respiration, you get ATP and CO2 and Water...from the breakdown of glucose.

A molecule of glucose is broken apart, and the energy from its bonds is used to build ATP.
