Onion or other plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts. and vacuoles. Human or animal cells do not have a cell wall, just a plasma membrane, a flagella for locomotion, and no chloroplasts.

The most obvious difference (and the one with the biggest impact on the feel and toughness of the cells) is that onion cells (as plant cells) contain cellulose, or plant fiber, which makes the cell wall erect and rigid; however, animal cells do not contain cellulose which makes them softer and more flexible.

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.
Does onion cells have intercellular space between them?
no, they dont
What is the difference between a bacterial cell and a onion peel cell?
Bacteria cells are prokaryote, that is they have a lose gathering of genetic material and few organelles, ribosomes being the most of that. Cell walls. Onion cells are plant cells that are eukaryote. They have membrane bound organelles and a membrane bound nucleus for the genetic material. Like bacteria, plants have a cell wall.
What causes the shape of a human cheek cell to be different from the shape of onion's epidermal cell?
plant cells have a cell wall - animal cells do not
What does the DNA of a onion do for the onion?
In every plant, animal or the other microorganisms, you have got the complete story or the characters of that individual written in the DNA. The onion is an onion because of the DNA of the onion. Much like the tomato is a tomato because of the DNA of the tomato.
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.
What is the difference between tomato pulp cells and onion cells?
The pulp has bigger cells in it, while the skin has many tiny cells.
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.
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.
Does onion cells have intercellular space between them?
no, they dont
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 and elodea cells have a more definite shape than the human cheek cells?
Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.
How does mitosis differ between the onion root and the roundworm?
The only difference between vegetal (onion) cells and animal (roundworm) is not quite in mitosis, but in citokinese (not a mitosis phase since mitosis refers to nucleus division). Vegetal cells have a thick wall rounding the cell which needs different means to split than the membrane in animal cells
What are the differences in onion cells cheek cells and amoeba cells?
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 are the similarities between onions and cheeks?
What are the similarities between cheek and onion cells?"
What is the difference between onion salt and onion powder?
Onion salt contains salt also whereas onion powder only contains powdered onion.
What is same between cheek and onion cells?
They both have a nucleus:)
