While having dinner, your little sister says she learned about energy and matter at school today and that the food you are eating and the energy you receive from it have been consumed and used previously. Your family is surprised by this and since you are the older sibling, they have asked you to explain whether your little sister is correct or not. 5-8 Complete sentences

She is correct

Explanation:

The reason why she is correct because everything had come from something.   For example, if a farmer is eating an apple, takes the seeds out, and plants them, the apple you are eating right now came from the farmer's apple. This means that it had been used previously. An example of it being consumed previously is if an animal had eaten an apple, put its feces on the ground, and left,  the seeds from the apple will eventually grow. This could have been how your apple has grown. This could be an example of most foods we eat.
