Is leaves turning color in the fall a chemical or physical change?

I don't know the scientific equation, but I do know that the tree withdraws it's sugars from the leaves, during the autumn and winter to make sure that there is enough for the main tree. The withdrawal of the sugars is a physical action, but it is a chemical one as well. The chlorophyll that was made thru the sunlight on the leaves for photosynthesis. This stops when the weather turns colder and there is less sunlight causing the leaves lessen the amount to chlorophyll they can make, signaling to the tree to cut off the sugar supply to the leaves. I'd say it's both. Also, You have witnessed a spectacular chemical change if you have seen the leaves on a tree change from green to bright yellow, red, or orange. But, it is not a change from a green pigment to a red pigment, as you might think. Pigments are chemicals that give leaves their color. In autumn, however, changes in temperature and rainfall amounts cause trees to stop producing chlorophyll. The chlorophyll already in the leaves undergoes a chemical change into colorless chemicals.Where do the bright fall colors come from? The pigments that produce fall colors have been present in the leaves all along. However, in the summer, chlorophyll is present in large enough amounts to mask these pigments. In the fall, when chlorophyll production stops, the bright pigments become visible.


Why is the colour plant leaves different?

well this might not really be the answer, but every different textures reflect different colours, like a banana absorbs every colour except for yellow, and grass absorbs every colour except for green.... or the other way around...


How do leaves from different plants are differ from each other?

Leaves have different colors because of their pigmentation. For example, chlorophyll is the pigment that gives leaves the color of green.


How does a plant with red leaves photosynthesize?

plants use carbon dioxide, which they get from their leaves and water, from the roots and sunlight which they get from the sun in order to photosynthesize. The process of photosynthesizing is when the plant uses its chlorophyll(that is what makes plants green) to change water, sunlight and carbon dioxide to turn into glucose, which it uses for the 7 life processes and turns it into starch.


Most plant parts that are green contain chlorophyll what might you conclude about a plant part that is not green?

It doesnt contain chlorophyll


How might this affect the leaves if plant can't get the right amount of nutrients?

If plants don't receive the right amount of nutrients they are not able to metabolise properly or produce chlorophyll. One of the first signs is that the leaves start to go pale green as chlorophyll production is affected. This normally show first in the areas between the veins (of the leaf). Prolonged nutrient deficiency will lead to stunting, discolouration of the foliage and eventually the foliage dropping.

Car painters.


Why grass gets brown after winter?

The green color in grass (green plants in general) is caused by chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is one pigment in plants' leaves that absorbs light (all but the green, obviously, since the green is reflected why it appears green to us). There's also other cellular organs which absorb light, like beta-carotine. All of them have different absorption spectrae, why they reflect different regions of the spectrum of visible light, which is why they might appear orange or yellow to us; those don't absorb orange / yellow frequences. So when the light changes in the course of the year, the activity of the particles is shifted, chlorophyll is less active than others may be, so the leave appears to be the color of those cells, rather than the color of the chlorophyll which is getting comparatively less. (sorry if there's grammar faults, I'm not native)


What is the type of energy that is generated by chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll....doesn't produce energy. It makes molecules called C6H12O6, or glucose. You might just want to remember it as glucose. ;)


What might be in plant cells but never in animal cells?

Chloroplasts are always found in plants cells but not in animal cells. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants. It is found in the plant's chloroplast and is the site of photosynthesis.


What might you infer if the syrups color became darker as time progressed?

you might infer that UV light has an influence on the pigment of the syrup


Why do weed leaf tips turn brown?

If the leaves of your cannabis plant are turning a pale or light green color it might be because it is being over watered. There are two signs of over watering that i have noticed. The first is that a day after watering the plants leaves turn pale green and some times die and fall off, other times they might turn a pale green but never fall off. In this case cut off the dying leaves. The other sign I'm not to sure of but when the stems to the paling leaves is a redish color it seems to be due to over watering.
