What is happening inside a tree when the leaves change colors?
The chlorophyll (the green stuff that does photosynthesis) inside the leaves die out in the fall/winter because they don't make any food in the winter, just the food they saved up. Then, there are other colors (the yellow and orange) that show since the chlorophyll dies out. Sometimes, the sap gets stuck in the leaves and make it look purple-ish or red-ish.
What discirbes chlorophyll breaking down into new substances?
Chlorophyll breaking down can result in the formation of colorless compounds like phyllobilins, which give different plants their fall colors. This breakdown process usually occurs as plants prepare for winter or when leaves senesce.
Why do the leaves of a tree turn brown in the fall?
The green pigment in leaves, chlorophyll, breaks down in the fall, revealing other pigments like carotenoids (yellows and oranges) and anthocyanins (reds and purples). As the tree prepares for winter and stops producing chlorophyll, these other pigments become more visible, giving the leaves their brown color before eventually falling off.
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. . :)
Why cant leaves change color in the winter?
Leaves change color in the fall due to changes in daylight and temperature, not winter. In winter, when days are shorter and temperatures drop, trees go into dormancy. This stops the production of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for green color in leaves, causing them to turn brown and fall off.
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.

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.

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 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
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.
How do you think the change in chlorophyll levels is a response to changes in the length of day from summer to fall?
Depending on the weather I believe the levels drops because the plant would die if not treated properly therefore no chlorophyll.
How do you get oxygen in the fall when the leaves fall?
we get oxygen from plants that live during the winter such as pine tress
Why do plants lose their leave in the fall and winter?
They actually lose the nutrients
What causes only certain green plants to lose the green coloring in the fall?
Certain green plants lose their green coloring in the fall due to the breakdown of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for their green hue. As temperatures drop and daylight decreases, plants begin to prepare for winter by halting chlorophyll production. This reveals other pigments, such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, which can produce yellow, orange, and red colors. The specific timing and intensity of this process can vary among plant species, influenced by factors like temperature, light, and moisture.
