Cheek cells are only found in animals, whereas onion cells are found in platns, particularly onion cells. Cheek cells, being animal cells, do not contain a cell wall as onion cells do becasue cell walls are found only in plant cells for structure and rigidness. Onion cells, unlike most plant cells, do not have chlorplasts becasue it does not need sunlight for photosynthesis as other plants do. Being grown underground, it receives nutrients directly from the soil, so chloraplasts are not evident. This is also why onions are never green, since chloroplasts contain chlorpohyll, a pigment which gives plants its green color. Basically, cheek cells are found in animals, and onion cells are found in plants.
An onion cell is a plant cell, and a cheek cell an animal cell. The main differences between plant and animal cells are that plant cells have: * Cellulose cell wall * Large vacuole * Chloroplasts (if the plant is green) Animal cells have none of the above. A cheek cell is a flat (squamous) cell from the inner lining of the mouth. The lining is a mucous membrane similar to those found all throughout our digestive tract. When you view a "cheek cell" scraping through a microscope on high power, you will see many cells that have been overlapped or rolled up. When you find one or a group of cells, each cell will have an irregular edge and a distinct nucleus in its center. The cells have no color, so a stain helps to make them more obvious. They are sometimes described as looking like a fried egg, sunny side up (but transparent). Onion skin cells seen through the microscope are also transparent. However, they are generally rectangular in shape, with a distinct cell wall. Like all cells, there is also a plasma membrane surrounding the cell contents, but it clings closely to the cell wall and is hard to see with a light microscope. Inside the onion cell one can see a nucleus and tiny grainy objects in the cytoplasm. If you add some iodine, the cell parts and nucleus become more distinct.
an onion has a cell wall
The onion cell is a plant cell and the human cheek cell is an animal cell. The onion cell would have cell wall, vacuole, and granules of starch or oils. The animal cell would have none of these.
Well a cheek cell is an animal cell and and onion cell is a plant cell. The plant cell has chloroplasts which convert sunlight into energy. It also has a large central vacuole for storing water and things. An animal cell has no cell wall.
Cheek cells are only found in animals, whereas onion cells are generally found in plants.
Cheek cells are animal cells. They do not have cell walls or chloroplasts.
Onion cells are plant cells. They have cell walls, chloroplasts, and vacuoles.
The main difference is the basic shape of the cell. The Onion Cell is Striated and the Cheek Cell is in a free shape. That should be the main difference.
There is no difference between the onion cell and a cheek cell except that the onion cell, being a plant cell, has a cell wall and a larger vacuole.
The Onion cell and cheek cell both had cytoplasm, nucleuses, and cell membranes under 400x Magnification
Describe how the onion and cheek cell were similar in observed parts what parts did they have common? Well they are similar because they both have a nucleus and cytoplasm. They are different because in an onion cell there is a cell wall, doesnt have chlorplast, and it is a plant. For a cheek cell it has a cell membrane, doesnt have a cell wall, and is an animal.
Plant cells (the onion skin cells) have a cell wall, while animal cells (cheek cells) only have the cell membrane.

Onion cells are larger. Skin cheek cells are smaller probably due to the fact that they're overlapped or rolled up.
The difference between potato cells and onion cells, check cells, and lettuce cells is the presence of starch in the potato cells chloroplast organelles. The difference between cheek cells and the rest is easier the cheek cells do not have chloroplasts at all.

The human.
The onion cells are much more rectangle shaped, than the cheek cells and the nucleus in the onion cell is much more bigger and better seen in the microscope.

Cheek cells are much larger than bacteria and they have nuclei.

Im guessing it can be similar cell as the cheek cell
Onion cells are larger. Skin cheek cells are smaller probably due to the fact that they're overlapped or rolled up.
