Plants stop producing chlorophyll when the temperature drops, because there is less light in the winter it makes more sense to use food storage then continue using energy to produce chlorophyll and continue photosynthesis.
The reason for color change in the leaves are the other pigments present in plant leaves, which only show once chlorophyll production stops. These include carotenoids (yellow orange brown) and Anthocyanins (reds).

What happens when a chlorophyll a molecule produce light reaction?
Light reaction is not produced by chlorophyll .
What happens to the chlorophyll when the energy from the sun is trapped?
Chlorophyll is a catalyst. It facilitates a chemical reaction known as photosynthesis, without being used up or changed by that reaction. Nothing happens to the chlorophyll. It is endlessly reusable.
What happens when a gas cools?
they become liquids at a certain temperatures
Contain chlorophyll and are located in the cytoplasm?
The chloroplast contains chlorophyll and is located in the cytoplasm. Photosynthesis happens because of the chloroplast and the chlorophyll captures the energy from the sunlight.
What happens to the light that is absorbed by the chlorophyll?
I don know
Why do trees with leaves have to shed them in winter?
trees lose their leaves because the sun gives them chlorophyll. without chlorophyll, the leaves die and drop off.
Is it true that water usually condenses when air temperatures falls below dew point?
Water can start to condense from the air when the temperatures drop below the dew point. It happens when the ground is cold or when the air above the sky is cold.
What happens when plants have less chlorophyll?
Plants that are unlucky enough to loose all of their chlorophyll will not be able to produce glucose through photosynthesis and will die. This is happens if the entire plant looses chlorophyll; there are other examples of plants (such as white variegated ones) where only certain portions of the leaf have no chlorophyll, in these instances the food is produced and distributed from the areas that do contain chlorophyll to those which don't.
What happens when a photon hits a chlorophyll molecule?
Photosynthesis begings
If you have learned in biology class that substance called chlorophyll makes leaves green.You guess that perhaps leaves change color because they do not produce chlorophyll when temperatures get color?
formed a hypothesis
You guess that perhaps leaves change color because they do not produce chlorophyll when temperatures get colder What have you done?
