Answer: The correct answer is-

Leaves change colors in the fall because of the breakdown of green pigment called chlorophyll.

A green pigment (chlorophyll) is present in the leaves that is significant in the process of photosynthesis (formation of food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight).

This pigment is broken down into small molecules during fall that results in the decoloration of leaves. The other pigments (such as carotenoid) exhibit their color on the leaves due to absence of chlorophyll.

In fall, the length of daylight is changed and there is an alternation in the temperature.

Leaves do not perform photosynthesis and change their color from green to orange or yellow due to lack of chlorophyll pigment.

Lakes and rivers constitute _______.
Brums [2.3K]
<span>Perhaps surprisingly, lakes and rivers constitute a tiny proportion of the world's total freshwater, so answer (b) is correct. Most of the freshwater on our planet is in fact locked up in ice and glaciers, some 68%. The majority of the rest, 30%, is actually underground, in springs and other groundwater feeders. That leaves just 2% that makes up all the rivers, lakes, ponds and other visible freshwater reservoirs that we see in our day-to-day lives.</span>
