The leaves that change color in fall
What is the role of leaves for trees? Leaves make energy and ship it off to the rest of the tree. They have cells containing chlorophyll which makes them green. It helps the leaf absorb energy from the sun. The energy is used to feed the tree. However, there is less sunlight for the leaves and the chlorophyll and it’s getting colder in autumn. Chlorophyll breaks down so, the green disappears because the tree takes all the nutrients from the leaves to store for winter. Besides, taking off the leaves is to protect itself from cold and snow. The trees are all different as people’s lives. Other colors are hidden by green, but the reds are produced as the fall goes on to help with that process of breaking down the green. Deciduous trees’ leaves change color and fall off in autumn, but evergreen trees which has needle-like leaves don’t adhere to the same schedule. They are also changed something, but it is a little more slower than deciduous trees.
