Which part of a plant cell will you never find in a onion bulb?

As an onion cell is a cell, no cells are located in it, but maybe you mean organelles, which literally mean "tiny organs" and make up every cell. In that case, onion cells lack chloroplasts because they grow underground and therefore don't use the sun to produce energy (chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis).

Is a onion cell a plant cell or animal cell?
I have researched this question and spent a good amount of time trying to figure it out.My research says NO,onion cells are NOT typical plant cells.
Why the chloroplasts is not present in the onion cell?
You can't see chloroplasts in an onion skin cell since the onion was underground. When the onion is underground, the sun can't reach the onion so the onion skin cells can't make glucose. The onion does have chloroplasts in its cells at the top of the onion. That's where he sunlight can reach the onion.
What is the function of the cell membrane in an onion cell?
The onion cell, like any other plant cell, performs various functions necessary for the survival and growth of the plant. Here are some key functions of an onion cell: Structural Support: Onion cells provide structural support to the plant. They have a cell wall made of cellulose, which helps maintain the shape and rigidity of the cell. Storage: Onion cells can store nutrients and reserve materials in the form of starch granules or other storage compounds, ensuring a steady supply of energy for the plant. Photosynthesis: Onion cells contain chloroplasts, specialized organelles that perform photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy, producing sugars and oxygen. Water and Nutrient Absorption: Onion cells, particularly those in the root system, absorb water and essential nutrients from the soil through their cell membranes. This process allows the plant to take up the necessary substances for growth and metabolism. Transport: Onion cells are involved in the transport of water, minerals, and organic compounds throughout the plant. Xylem vessels within the cell walls transport water and minerals from the roots to the other parts of the plant, while phloem cells distribute sugars and other organic molecules to various plant tissues. Reproduction: Onion cells play a role in plant reproduction. They contain the necessary genetic material (DNA) that contributes to the formation of new onion plants through cell division and growth.
Do onion cell have a cell membrane?
no they have cell walls because only animal cells have cell membrains
What can you infer about the relative length of time an onion root tip call spends in each cell division?
The time of cell division usually relates to the life span of a plant or animal. For onion root tips, the length of the cell division is related to the life span of the onion plant.
Why is the bulb of an onion plant big?
because it big huge like the plant cell
What is the cell of onion peel?
The cell of an onion peel is a plant cell. The cells of the onion peel do not have chloroplasts because the onion bulb (white part) grows under ground and its cells do not carry out photosynthesis.
Is an onion bulb an organelle or an organ system or a tissue or a cell or an organism?
No an onion bulb is an organism
What is in the Elodea cell but not in the onion bulb cell?
chlolrplasts
Does an onion cell have membrane?
Yes, an onion is a plant and plants have cell membranes and cell walls
Is a bulb a plant cell system?
A bulb and a flower are not plant cell systems but they do have plant cells in them.
How do onion cells differ from other plant cells?
many
What parts of a plant cell have on an onion cell?
cell wall
What kind of plant cell is a root cell?
A onion is a root cell.
Is a onion cell a plant cell or animal cell?

Are onion cells are prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Onions are in plant kingdom. They have eukaryotic cells.
Why the chloroplasts is not present in the onion cell?
