sucrose is a disaccharide and is made up of one glucose and one fructose unit(not two glucose units,the sugar with two glucose units is maltose not sucrose)
but the number of ATP molecules produced will be 72.
Fructose unit of sucrose will be converted into glucose.(only in liver and adipose tissue and can be utilised as such but brain and muscle can utilise it only after its conversion to glucose)
One glucose molecule gives 36 ATP
so a sucrose will give 72ATP

Glucose is the fuel our muscles run on. We get it from food. Glucose is the simplest form of sugar. Some kinds of sugar, like fructose, are very close to glucose. Other kinds, like sucrose (regular table sugar) are broken down into glucose. Then there are 'complex carbohydrates', starches, which are broken down also, in a more complicated way. But they all end up as glucose. The pancreas secrets a hormone called insulin that regulates how the muscles use glucose. People with a damaged pancreas don't have enough insulin and the glucose builds up in their blood where it can do some damage. This is called type 1 diabetes. Some other people, their muscles don't 'see' the insulin so they don't use up the glucose in their blood. This 'insulin resistance' is called type 2 diabetes. Two different diseases with the same result.

Each molecule of glucose produces 36 molecules of ATP from ADP. Sucrose is a dissacharide of glucose. So, each mole would produce 72 moles of ATP.
