Question Two friends are discussing physical and chemical changes. Isabela says that when you eat, it is a physical change because when you chew, the food is only changed into smaller pieces. Mirabel says that when you eat, it is a chemical change because your body digests the food as the chemicals in your body break down the food into energy. Who is right?(1 point) Responses Both girls are correct Both girls are correct Isabela Isabela Mirabel Mirabel Neither girl is correct
Mirabel is correct. Eating is a chemical change because the digestive process involves breaking down food into smaller molecules using enzymes and other chemicals in the body to release energy. This is a chemical reaction rather than just a physical change of breaking food into smaller pieces.
