It may contain errors. Why Do Leaves Change Color in the Fall? The Splendor of Fall Leaves (1) As the days get cooler, trees and shrubs put on an impressive fashion show in all the shades of red, yellow, purple, and browns. (2) Leaves that were once green all summer long start to change colors and fall becomes the time when trees show off these vibrant colored leaves. (3) Leaves are more than just a fashion statement. (4) Leaves are nature's food factories. (5) Plants take water from the ground through their roots. (6) They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. (7) Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is a kind of sugar. (8) Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growth. (9) The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is a called photosynthesis. (10) This process means to "put together with light." (11) A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. (12) And, chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color. Where do Autumn Colors Come From? (13) Some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. (14) There are various pigments of colors, including yellow pigments known as xanthophylls and the orange pigments called carotenoids. (15) Red and purple pigments come from anthocyanins, which are manufactured from the sugars that are trapped in the leaf. (16) These fall colors are actually always present in the leaves throughout the growing season, but only show up in the fall. (17) When all the color pigments are gone during extreme weather conditions, the only pigment that remains are tannins, which are brown. What Makes Leave Change Color? (18) Trees are sensitive to these changes in their environment, so as the season begins to change, the trees "know" to start getting ready for winter. (19) Leaves are green in the spring and summer because that is when they are making the most amounts of chlorophyll. (20) But, as summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. (21) As a result, the trees will rest and live off the food they stored during the warmer months. (22) They begin to shut down their food-making factories and the bright green fades away from the leaves, revealing the reds, oranges, and yellows.

Ireally need on this i will name you brainliest if you . mr. frost's book reveals a disease which is eating into the vitals of our new england life, at least in its rural communities. what is there in the hard, vigorous climate of these states which plants the seeds of degeneration? is the violence and ugliness of their religious belief the cause of these twisted and tortured lives? have the sane, full-blooded men all been drafted away to the cities, or the west, leaving behind only feeble remainders of a once fine stock? mr. frost's is not the kindly new england of whittier, nor the humorous and sensible one of lowell; it is a latter-day new england, where a civilization is decaying to give place to another and very different one. based on what you have read in “a servant to servants,” do you agree with lowell’s analysis? cite evidence and examples from the poem to support your response of at least 150 words.

Read the excerpt from ernest hemingway’s “soldier's home.” his father was in the real estate business and always wanted the car to be at his command when he required it to take clients out into the country to show them a piece of farm property. the car always stood outside the first national bank building where his father had an office on the second floor. now, after the war, it was still the same car. nothing was changed in the town except that the young girls had grown up. how does hemingway’s description of the town as unchanged impact the readers’ perception of krebs? it emphasizes that while the town has remained the same, krebs has changed. it illustrates that krebs despises the town he grew up in because it is boring. it demonstrates that krebs views himself as similar to the other soldiers from his town. it reveals that krebs is jealous of those who were able to stay in town and avoid the war.
