  1. Purple Basil Miah, Micah, Joe, Alicia Mr. Martell Science 6

  2. The common name is purple basil, the scientific name is Ocimumbasilicumpurpurescens. Flower Stem --- leaf Root Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of the plant cells.

  3. Background Information Three factors that effect the growth of a plant are not enough sunlight, too much or too little water, and not enough nutrients for the plant.

  4. Information about the Purple Basil The organic compounds give an odor that will repel the insects from eating the plant. You can use Purple Basil for culinary reasons. It’s used in Mediterranean, Thai, and Italian cooking. It’s good for decoration, and cosmetic uses. The name comes from the Greek word "basileus" which means king.

  5. Photosynthesis The function of photosynthesis is to generate food and sugar for the plant using water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide. The overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis is sunlight, H2O, CO2, sugar, and O2. Chloroplast is responsible for conducting photosynthesis. Xylem is important for photosynthesis because it transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

  6. Procedures: • 1. Choose the plant you want to grow. • Gather plastic cup ,soil , 3 cotton balls and your plant. • Arrange materials in the cup. • Make 3 large holes in the soil and sprinkle the seeds in. Carefully pat down the soil to cover the seeds. • Give your plant a small amount of water. • Sit and wait for your plant to begin to sprout.

  7. Answers • The purple basil grew towards the light • The roots grew downward because of geotropism • The plants in the dark weren't as dark green as the plants in the sun

  8. Conclusion Our results were not what we think they would be. The Basil in the dark grew larger than the one in the dark which was very unplanned and not expected. Our hypothesis was completely different than what we had expected. We thought that the plant in the light would grow better but the Basil in the dark did. One of our main questions was “Why did the plant in the dark grow faster than the one in the light??”
