ohhhh...I get it!!!
man..that's sooo interesting!!
ok..in a sentence...here we go!
Leaves turn colour because the leaves stop producing food. (hmm..need more sentences...) There is a chemical in the leaf called chlorophyll. the chlorophyll breaks down and reveals the rest of the chemicals (which are not green).
So techinically...when I see leaves changing colours, that means those leaves have stopped producing and the "plant food" is going downwards?
