Imagine that you are a leaf on a plant, and you realize that you are running low on supplies to do your job. You decide to text the roots to set up a delivery. Write a text message conversation between the leaf and the roots that discusses and arranges this delivery.
Be sure to answer these questions in your conversation:
• Which supplies is the leaf running out of? • What are the supplies needed to do? • How will the roots get the supplies from outside the plant? • How will the supplies get from the roots to the leaf?

The leaves of plants primarily serve to photosynthesize and require water conducted by the root to do so.

Water conduction by the root

As a leaf of a plant running low on supplies that the root is responsible for, what I will be needing is water.

Thus, I will have to send a text message to the root to supply me with water. The root will respond by asking its foot soldiers (the root hairs) to conduct water into the root.

Once water gets into the root, it enters special cells that are responsible for conducting water inside plants - the xylems. The root sends the water through the xylem and water travels from there to me - the leaf.

Once the water gets to me, I will use it in combination with inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) to synthesize carbohydrates.
