Well, one is a cell from a plant and another is from an animal, so they're very different. Onion cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole and plants-only organelles like chloroplast. Cheek cells lack cell walls, has a significantly greater amount of mitochondria and has lysosomes while plant cells very rarely have any lysosomes.

Describe how the onion and cheek cell were different in observed parts what parts did they have in common?
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?
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.
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.
How would you describe the cytoplasm of an onion cell and a cheek cell?
little dots
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.

The cell that does not have a cell wall is the . human cheek cell onion cell?
The human.
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.
Why are onion cells different to cheek cell?
because they are

What structure did you only find in the onion cell?
Im guessing it can be similar cell as the cheek cell
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 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 does onion skin cells have that cheek cells don't?
A cell wall.
