Diego and Gabe's Climb

Diego and Gabe are planning to climb to the top of a cliff.
Diego is preparing for the climb by putting on climbing gear and checking his equipment.
Diego’s body is using glucose and oxygen for energy to power his muscles during the climb.
Muscles are made of protein fibers that contract and relax to produce movement.
Diego and Gabe ate a breakfast of oatmeal, fruit, and eggs before starting their climb.
Diego and Gabe have been training for months by climbing and working out to prepare for the climb.
Digestive enzymes break down food molecules into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
Diego's lungs are responsible for the intake of oxygen and glucose molecules.
Cellular respiration, the process of breaking down glucose to release energy for the muscles, is the primary source of energy for Diego's muscle cells during climbing.
Diego feels hungry and breathes faster during climbing because his body needs more energy and oxygen to fuel his working muscles.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells, where energy is released during cellular respiration.
Chalk on Diego's hands increases friction, providing a better grip on the rock.
Diego must decide where to place the next piece of equipment to ensure safety and maintain a stable climb.
Diego's muscles contract and relax in a coordinated manner to pull him up the rock during climbing.
Billions of muscle cells work in unison to provide the power and strength needed for Diego to climb.
Signals are sent to Diego's brain when his body needs more oxygen and glucose as a result of increased activity and energy demands during climbing.

Join Diego and Gabe as they prepare for an overnight climb up a massive cliff. Help them navigate the challenges and excitement of their first climb together.
