Answer:

Hey!

When the Chlorophyll breaks down, the leaves LOSE ITS GREEN COLOUR...this is then seen physically as when the leaves change colour in the Autumn...(red,,,yellow...orange etc)

Step-by-step explanation:

This happens for so many reasons : *here's a couple*

LACK OF SUNLIGHT (reduced daytimes)

TEMPERATURE (as the temperature reduces, Photosynthesis processes slow down, so there's no need for excess Chlorophyll)

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
