Answer: There are little tiny batteries that are contained within the molecules of the food. The sun charges these batteries, and when the food is eaten, the energy from the batteries flows through the acids in the stomach, which gives the person or animal energy. In gasoline, the energy is created when the gasoline is set on fire and burned, there is no energy within it already. So they are different forms of energy. Hope this helps!
