Chlorophyll

Thanks to chlorophyll, the leaves convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugars that travel through the interior of the branches and roots to feed the tree. When the chlorophyll disappears (autumn and winter) the orange, red and yellow pigments appear.

 

Gracias a la clorofila, las hojas convierten la luz solar, el dióxido de carbono y el agua en azúcares que viajan por el interior de las ramas y raíces para alimentar al árbol. Cuando la clorofila desaparece (otoño e invierno) los pigmentos naranja, rojo y amarillo aparecen.
