What is the matter of plants colour being green?
A plant is green because of the chlorophyll in the it. The chlorophyll is green, but in fall, the chlorophyll just dies away, showing a different color. Faisal
Why aren't leaves green in the fall?
In the fall, leaves stop producing chlorophyll, the pigment that gives them their green color. As the chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments such as carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple) become more prominent, resulting in the vibrant colors we see in autumn leaves.
Why do plants lose their leave in the fall and winter?
They actually lose the nutrients
Do plants lose chlorophyll as they die?
Yes, as plants die and stop photosynthesizing, they no longer need chlorophyll and may break it down for reuse. This breakdown of chlorophyll can cause other pigments in the leaves to become more visible, leading to the typical red, yellow, or orange colors seen in leaves during fall.
What colors does chlorophyll reflect?
In most plants, the predominant type of chlorophyll reflects green light - this is why most plants appear to be green to our eyes. However, there are other types of chlorophyll that reflect red, orange and yellow light - you see these in leaves that are shed in the fall from deciduous trees in temperate forests.
Example of plants that contain chlorophyll a?
every plant has chlorophyll but it can be dominant in some of the year and isn't domminant in the fall

What do plants need chorphyll?
Plants don't need chlorophyll, they just use it to turn green. like when leaves start to loose their green color in the fall they are actually loosing their chlorophyll.
Explain why leaves of some plants look green in the summer but yellow or brown in the fall?
plants look green in the summer because the light gives them the energy to make a lot of chlorophyll/chloroplast. But in fall the plants do not get as much sunlight as in the summer. so to conserve energy they make less chlorophyll. . :)
During the fall what happens to the amount of chlorophyll being produced by plants?
The amout of clorophyll decreases. That tends for the leaves to dry out!

What happens to the green stuff in leaves in the fall?
The green pigment in leaves is chlorophyll, which breaks down in the fall due to changes in light and temperature. As the chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments that were present in the leaf but masked by the green chlorophyll become visible, leading to the beautiful array of fall colors.
Do plants lose chlorophyll as they die?

How do people affect plants?
People affect plants by not watering them which causes the plants to die or the branches to fall off. We can leave a good affect by watering the plants because sometimes there is not enough rain and the plants start to die and fall apart.
How does plant change their color?
Plants can change their color due to a variety of factors, including changes in pigmentation, nutrient availability, environmental conditions like sunlight or temperature, and stress responses. For example, a decrease in chlorophyll production can cause leaves to change color in the fall. Additionally, some plants can change color as a defense mechanism against herbivores or pathogens.
