In the fall of the year, the leaves of some trees change color as chlorophyll begins to break down. What impact does this have on the role of the mitochondria in the cells diverts the amount of energy to the rest of the plant's body as there is a specific process of killing or removal of the unnecessary or tired off cells from the plant's body. Giving more space for the new generation of leaves and plant to function more efficiently and help the plant body survive inside the given set of parameters.
The mitochondria basically operates as the power house or the energy generation hub for the plant cell as for the animal cells.
The chlorophyll is the pigment that gives the plants' leaves their green colors and it is also responsible for the photosynthesis process which takes place in the mitochondria. In the fall as the leaves change color, the amount of chlorophyll decreases and this impacts the mitochondria as it also decreases the amount of work the mitochondria does.
