It`s the volatile oil of Pandanus amaryllifolius, which repels cockroaches and other vermin too.
The active principles are mainly terpenes and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (6-42%), as well as a major aroma component - 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline.
Tannins
The burning of leaves is a chemical reaction. The way we can tell is because after the leaves are burned, they cannot go back to the way they were. Butter melting is a physical reaction because it does not change the molecules, and the butter has the ability to go back to it's original state.
No. Trees' leaves change colors beacuase when winter comes around, they will not have the energy to keep leaves, so they seal off the leaves from the rest of the tree. When the leaves are cut off from the rest of the tree, the chlorophyll in them dies, and turns brown.
Talisay is a type of tree. The chemical composition of a talisay tree includes various organic compounds such as cellulose, lignin, and other plant-based chemicals. Additionally, the leaves and bark of the talisay tree may contain alkaloids, tannins, and flavonoids.
It is a chemical change. The substance of the leaves is changing.
Leaves falling from a tree is a physical change. It is a change in state or appearance without altering the chemical composition of the leaves.
Pruning of leaves is a physical change because it only involves the physical removal of plant tissue (leaves), without altering the chemical composition of the leaves themselves.
Tannins
No. If any, it is a physical change because the leaves are moved and torn, but not permenantly changed

The process of leaves decaying in the forest is considered to be chemical weathering. During decay, organic matter in the leaves breaks down and releases minerals into the soil, altering its composition. This chemical process aids in the weathering of rocks and contributes to soil formation.
Drying of leaves is a physical change because neither it changes its composition nor does it have any different properties from the original one.
Some are, some aren't. It just has to do with what they are made out of. Not all materials can biodegrade, just because of their chemical composition.
Because when you burn a leaf, it is changing its chemical composition. It's no longer celulose (and the other components), but it is converted to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water in the form of vapor.

Very complex chemical changes cause the yellowing of leaves. Primarily, the green chlorophyll breaks down leaving some of the yellow colours which were hidden, e.g. xanthophyll. Other chemical changes produce new coloured substances such as red anthocyanins.
