36 ATP in Cellular Respiration

     It is known that the equation for cellular respiration is:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ à CO₂ + H₂O + 36ATP

     However, we discover that glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, kreb's cycle, and the electron transport chain produces 4, 0, 2, and 34 ATP respectively, resulting in a total of 38 ATP. Why then, does this not follow the equation mentioned above? 

     Well, it is easy to forget that two of the ATP produced in glycolysis must be used to transport 2 NADH from the cytoplasm to the matrix in order to carry out the kreb's cycle. Therefore, cellular respiration does indeed follow the equation above, producing a total of 36 ATP.
