The correct answer is - C) carotenoids.

The majority of the trees from the mid-latitude forests tend to shade their leaves in the autumn. This process occurs because of the seasonal changes in the climate, where the trees tend to be almost not-active during the winter, so in order to preserve as much energy and nutrients as possible they get read off their leaves.

It is not a sudden process, but it takes some time, where the leaves from the initial green color start to change to yellowish, than towards orange, reddish, or brownish before they fall.

The reason why this coloration appears in the leaves when the tree starts to process of shading them off are carotenoids. The carotenoids found in the leaves, the lutein and the beta-caroten, thorugh the xantophills and the flavonoids give a yellowish color to the leaves, thus we get the beautiful autumn colors and landscapes.

The distinction between sensation and perception ______. Group of answer choices
Ratling [72]

<u>Answer</u>:

The distinction between the sensation and perception allows the researchers to distinguish between the information processed by the receptors versus the information processed in the cortex.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The sensation is a process by which the sensory receptors take up the signals or stimuli from its surroundings and send it to the brain through nerves. Whereas, in the process of perception the brain organizes, combines and makes patterns from the given stimuli and gives the response to the particular stimuli accordingly.

Both sensation and perception are connected to each other hence if one doesn’t work then the other automatically stops working.
