Hey! It's me Sofia! Today on my blog I am going to talk about " Why leaves change color and how?". Now at this time of year the leaves are AMAZING!
I bet if you took a look outside you would see what I am talking about!
Fall is one of my favorite seasons ever! YAY! The colors are so fantastic and I bet you wonder how! Well, the fresh green color that you see in spring and summer is made by chlorophyll! But it starts to fade away and it is time for the others to SHINE!!!
Most of the time you will see Orange, Red, Yellow, and brown leaves! But in winter you see no leaves on trees or on the ground! Where do all the leaves go?Well, it goes like this, the leaves die and become brown and crispy and fall off! After they have fallen, they are on the ground and after a while it becomes the soil in the ground for the tree and makes new leaves after the winter is over!
How leaves grow back?
Leaves grow by little buds that allow them to grow back in the spring! At my house in spring we have pinkish - redish buds on our 3 trees in our front yard!
After a while the become small little green leaves to huge super green ones! After that the whole process starts over again from buds to little green leaves to big green leaves to the beautiful fall colors and to a no leaves tree!
Where does that fall color come from?
That fall color comes from when the chlorophyll dies away, when the days get shorter and there is not enough sunlight to produce chlorophyll. To make the greenish color which is made by chlorophyll you need light, to have photosynthesis which feeds the leaves to keep its green color, and I mean lots of sunlight. When the chlorophyll brakes down the carotenoids, which make yellow, orange, and brown colors, and the anthocyanins, which make red, purple, and pink color, begin to show after they have been concealed by the chlorophyll.
