Answer:
yes
Explanation:
Leaf colour comes from pigments. These are natural substances produced by leaf cells to help them obtain food. The three pigments that colour leaves are chlorophyll (green), carotenes (yellow) and anthocyanins (reds and pinks).
As summer turns into autumn, the shorter days and cooler nights trigger three major changes in the leaf which have consequences for its colour.
