Trees who lose their leaves are called what?

Trees can also be divided into deciduous and coniferous categories.Deciduous trees are also known as broadleaf trees because the leaves are generally larger and wider than those of conifers. The larger leaf size means a greater surface area for photosynthesis, but it also mean the leaf is too fragile to withstand winter conditions. Therefore, most deciduous trees drop their leaves in autumn.Coniferous trees keep their leaves throughout the year, shedding only the oldest leaves. Usually these leaves are lower down on the tree and do not receive as much sunlight as newly developed leaves higher up. Some of the best-known members of the conifer family are pines, spruces, firs, and hemlocks. The cones of the conifers are its flowers.

If yellow red and orange pigments exist in the leaves of trees Why do leaves appear green most of the year?

The green colour is produced by the Chlorophyll present in the leaves. When the tree 'shuts down' for winter, the Chlorophyll is re-absorbed, revealing the different colouration of the leaves.


Why do trees leaves change colors in the fall?

Because in order to prepare to fall, leaves start to break down chlorophyl, their main light absorbing chemical, which has a reflects green light. As it breaks down, other pigments which reflect other colors are easier to see.

How do plants use chemical reactions?

Trees and plants are living organisms, and therefore have the same needs as all other organisms. For example, they need to be able to fuel their cells with ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and to for that, they need to photosynthesize and produce molecules that can be broken down to release energy.
