Photosynthesis.

Plants use carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) plus energy from sunlight to synthesize carbohydrates (CH2O)n and the byproduct oxygen (O2). Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of the plant in cellular organelles called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are what give leaves their green color.

In the fall, some plants and trees pull the chloroplasts from the leaves to save it for next year. That's why the leaves turn colors and eventually fall.
