check the microscope and the cross section views....
Yes, an onion is a plant and plants have cell membranes and cell walls
many
Both onion cells and nerve cells have the same look. Obviously they have both got cells in them and have nerly everything the same.
cell wall
Onion cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, while animal cells don't have a cell wall. Also, onion cells would have chloroplasts and chlorophyll so they can do photosynthesis. And animal cells have organelles called either centrosomes or centrioles, and plants don't.
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.
The structure of an onion cell wall provides support and protection to the cell, helping the onion plant maintain its shape and resist external stress. This allows the plant to grow and thrive in various environments.
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.
A onion is a root cell.
One difference between cell division in plant cells and in animal cells is that plant cells have a cell plate. Animals cell's have a cleavage furrow.
One major difference between animal and plant cells is the presence of a cell wall in plant cells but not in animal cells. The cell wall provides structural support and protection in plant cells, while animal cells rely on other structures for support.
An onion cell is a plant cell, thereby it is eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are only found by bacterias.
