Onions themselves are root bulbs, and so cannot photosynthesize.
Keeping that in mind, onion leaves and the sprouting plant from the onion bulb CAN photosynthesize like all other leaved plants.
Hope this helps!

Why chlorophyll found in plant-like protist?
because plant like protists photosynthesize and wouldn't be able to photosynthesize without chlorophyll
Do plant release oxygen when they photosynthesize?

Why do onion cells look so different than human cheek cells?
Onion cells are plant cells, so they have a cell wall and more angular shape (but no chloroplasts, like some plant cells, since they are not part of the photosynthesizing part of the onion plant) Human cheek cells are animal cells, so the biggest difference is that they have no cell wall and thus a rounder shape.

What are the main differences between plant and human cells?
