Onion cells are plant cells, cheek cells are human cells and amoebas split? (i'm smart as well as beautiful, I also managed to keep my airhead image by putting a ? at the end, *giggles flirtily*)

What is bigger cheek cells or onion cells?
Onion cells are larger. Skin cheek cells are smaller probably due to the fact that they're overlapped or rolled up.
What cell structure gave the onion skin cells a more rigid shape than your cheek cells?
Plant cells (the onion skin cells) have a cell wall, while animal cells (cheek cells) only have the cell membrane.
What is the difference between an onion cell and a cheek cell?
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.
What structure observe in onion epidermal cells are not present in human epithelial cells?
The structure of onion epidermal cells refers to the arrangement of tissues in this cells. You can find the structure of onion epidermal cells online athttp://biology.touchspin.com/onion_epidermis.php. The structures observed in an onion epidermal cell, which are not present in the human epithelial cells are cell wall, central vacuole and vacuolar membrane.
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.
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
What are the differences in cell organelles between onion cells potato cells cheek cells and lettuce cells?
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.
Which of the 2 cells cheek or onion cells have a regular arrangement and structure?
Between the 2 cells that are cheek and onion cells, the one that has a regular arrangement and structure are onion cells. Cheek cells have an irregular shape.
What is bigger cheek cells or onion cells?
Onion cells are larger. Skin cheek cells are smaller probably due to the fact that they're overlapped or rolled up.
Why are onion cells in a sheet and cheek cells individual units?
Due to the techniques of obtaining the samples, onion cells remain intact in the tissue, but because cheek cells are obtained by rubbing a toothpick on your cheek, you are disrupting the cheek tissue, and instead of getting a sheet of cheek cells, you get individual cheek cells.
What are the Characteristics of cheek cells leaf cells and onion cells?
cheek is eukaryotic multicellular and sexual
What cell parts did you find in the onion cell but not in the cheek cells?
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.
What does onion skin cells have that cheek cells don't?
A cell wall.
Why are onion cells different to cheek cell?
because they are
What is same between cheek and onion cells?
They both have a nucleus:)
What cell structure gave the onion skin cells a more rigid shape than your cheek cells?
Plant cells (the onion skin cells) have a cell wall, while animal cells (cheek cells) only have the cell membrane.
When the onion and cheek epithelial cells was placed in the distilled water?
eat cholate
