...
When the leaves lose their green and fall in Autumn, where does the
chlorophyll go?


I think it just breaks down (and the bits get recycled and moved out of the
leaves).
During the growing season, it gets replished contstantly to replace
chlorophyl that breaks down.
When Autumn comes, it is not made any more and what is there breaks down.
