How is the color of fall leaves related to the pigments in chloroplasts?
Carotenoids.
Which pigments help variegated leaves to photosynthesize?
The pigment which performs photosynthesis is chlorophyll.
Is leaves turning color in the fall a chemical or physical change?
I don't know the scientific equation, but I do know that the tree withdraws it's sugars from the leaves, during the autumn and winter to make sure that there is enough for the main tree. The withdrawal of the sugars is a physical action, but it is a chemical one as well. The chlorophyll that was made thru the sunlight on the leaves for photosynthesis. This stops when the weather turns colder and there is less sunlight causing the leaves lessen the amount to chlorophyll they can make, signaling to the tree to cut off the sugar supply to the leaves. I'd say it's both. Also, You have witnessed a spectacular chemical change if you have seen the leaves on a tree change from green to bright yellow, red, or orange. But, it is not a change from a green pigment to a red pigment, as you might think. Pigments are chemicals that give leaves their color. In autumn, however, changes in temperature and rainfall amounts cause trees to stop producing chlorophyll. The chlorophyll already in the leaves undergoes a chemical change into colorless chemicals.Where do the bright fall colors come from? The pigments that produce fall colors have been present in the leaves all along. However, in the summer, chlorophyll is present in large enough amounts to mask these pigments. In the fall, when chlorophyll production stops, the bright pigments become visible.
Name two gases that can enter leaves through the pore?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Oxygen (O2) can enter leaves through the pore.
How does oxygen pass out through the stoma of leaves?
diffusion

Why leaves having also red in colour?
Leaves get their colors because of the pigments present in them. Red leaves have pigments like anthocyanin.
Why are the leafs are green?
The leaves are green because of the chlorophyll pigments.
Are yellow or orange pigments that appear in fall leaves?
the pigments become visible in the leaves as the seasons change! (A+)
Photosynthesis requires chlorophyll but some of the coleus leaves turn out purple Why did this happen?
This results from the combinations of chlorophylls and anthocyanin (red) pigments. Leaves of the Coleus have the same pigment combination throughout the leaf.
Why are there no blue autumn leaves?
The leaves contain no pigments of that color.
What pigment include yellow and orange pigments that appear in fall leaves?
Carotenoid pigments
What pigment include the yellow and orange pigments that appear in fall leaves?
Carotenoid pigments
Do green leaves have the same pigments?
Of course,every plants have same pigments.Main pigments are chlorophylls.
What pigment causes the yellow color of leaves in autumn?
Carotene gives yellow color to the leaves.
Describe why you see fall colors during the fall season What happens to the green pigments that allows for the orange red and yellow pigments to be more visible?
Because the amount of sunlight is less and the weather is colder, trees allows the beta carotene (orange pigments), and other pigments, to be more visible compared to when the leaves have more chlorophyll (green pigments).
What is the name of the chemiical in leaves of green plants that is used to trap sunlight during photosy?
The chemical in the leaves of green plants that is used to trap sunlight during photosynthesis is called chlorophyll.
