Answer:
Yes, these leaves can also carry out the process of photosynthesis because they contain chlorophyll. The large amount of red, brown and violet pigment mask the green colour of chlorophyll in these leaves.

Red leaves contain the anthocyanin that makes the characteristic color. The leaves also contain chlorophyll, but the anthocyanin levels are much greater. In shady areas, the leaves tend to darken and look muddy because the plant has to produce more chlorophyll to drive the photosynthesis process.
