In the summer, the green chlorophyll
packages are very, very busy. The green packages in the leaves
catch sunlight and, using it for energy, they change water from the
ground and a special gas from the air ("carbon dioxide") into
sugar ("glucose").
This sugar is
the food for the tree.
All summer long the green chlorophyll
produces food for the trees. Because the green chlorophyll is so
busy, the green color covers up all of the other colors in the packages. |
