Leaves often change color before they fall. As autumn approaches, chlorophyll, the green pigment used in photosynthesis, breaks down. As chlorophyll is lost from leaves, other yellow and orange pigments are revealed. These pigments were always present in the leaves but were hidden by the green chlorophyll. Some leaves also have red pigments, which also become visible when chlorophyll is broken down.
What causes green leaves to change color in the fall?
the amount of orange pigment increases.
chlorophyll breaks down
chlorophyll changes into red pigment
the amount of yellow pigment stays the same
Read the passage.“My father in his early manhood,” Grandpa began, “made a vision quest to find a spirit guide for his life. You cannot understand how it was in that time, when the great Teton Sioux were first made to stay on the reservation. There was a strong need for guidance from Wakantanka, the Great Spirit. But too many of the young men were filled with despair and hatred. They thought it was hopeless to search for a vision when the glorious life was gone and only the hated confines of a reservation lay ahead. But my father held to the old ways.”
What caused the young men to be “filled with despair and hatred?”
they were made to stay on the reservation
the Teton Sioux had guidance from the Great Spirit
they quit having visions
their fathers did not hold to the old way
The difference between day length and night length is an important environmental stimulus for many plants. This stimulus can cause plants to begin reproducing. Some plants flower only in late summer or early autumn, when the night length is long. These plants are called short-day plants. Examples of short-day plants include poinsettias, ragweed, and chrysanthemums. Other
plants flower in spring or early summer, when night length is short. These plants are called longday plants. Clover, spinach, and lettuce are examples of long-day plants.
Short-day plants flower in the summer or early autumn. Long-day plants:
flower in winter
flower at night
flower in spring or early summer
flower all year round
