- The leaf is called the food factory of the plant, because it makes food by the process of photosynthesis with the help of raw-materials like water and carbon dioxide using sunlight and chlorophyll.
- Most plants and trees have thin and flat leaves , which work like solar panels to attract energy from the sun.
- In the spring and summer, leaves are green because of a chemical called chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is used to trap energy they get from sunlight, which is used during photosynthesis.
- They are able to make their food , which is a kind of sugar called glucose. The process of photosynthesis also creates oxygen, which we breathe.
- In the fall, the leaves on many trees and bushes change color because the chlorophyll begins to breakdown and turns shades of orange, yellow, red and purple.
- In winter, trees and plants do not use photosynthesis to make food. They use food they stored during warmer months to help them survive until spring.
