The three correct statements about energy and matter in stars are:
1. **Some matter is converted into energy within stars.** - This is a key principle of stellar processes, especially in nuclear fusion where hydrogen is fused into helium, releasing energy.
2. **Energy and matter are both conserved in stars.** - According to the law of conservation of energy and mass (which is often combined into the concept of mass-energy equivalence), both energy and matter are conserved in the processes occurring in stars.
3. **Energy in stars causes the fusion of light elements.** - The energy produced in stars facilitates the fusion of light elements (like hydrogen into helium), which is how stars generate their energy.
The other statements are false as they contradict the principles of physics related to conservation laws in stellar processes.
