Onion bulb is not photosynthetic.So chloroplasts are absent.

Do potato cells have catalase?
Yes, potato cells do have catalase.
Is potato a herb or a shrub?
Potato is a herb.
Cells are specified to do what?
eats potato chips like a freak! eats potato chips like a freak!
Is a potato a plant cell or animal cell?
I am assuming you are talking about the potato plant as a whole and not just the stem of the plant, which is what is known as a "potato." So continuing with the assumption that you are talking about a potato plant, then yes a potato plant is a multicellular organism. It is an organism and it has more than one cell that work together for the good of the group of cells.
What organelle is responsible for making and storing a potato pigment?
Considering potato's are plants. I'd suppose it is the starch granules since they are specialized plastids for storing carbon hydrates.
Why are there no chloroplasts in a potato cell?
Potatoes, or the portion of the potato plant we eat, are actually roots. As such, they aren't exposed to sunlight, and since chloroplasts require sunlight to convert energy, it makes sense that the potato cell doesn't have any. The green shoots that go above ground for the potato plant do have chloroplast.
How do potato cells differ from onion cells?
No, Onion cells does not contain chloroplast
What specialized organelle would you expect to find in a potato cell?
The specialized organelle found in a potato cell is an amyloplast. It is responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules.
What plant cell has a large surface area and no chloroplasts?
Potato's because it is underground and doesn't receive any sunlight!!:)
Would you expect to find chloroplasts in a liver cell?
no, unless it gets exposed to the sun in which case it will start growing and develop chloroplasts
What organelle would you find in large numbers in the root cell of a plant?
Amyloplasts are organelles without any pigments found in some plant cells. Large numbers can be found in underground storage tissues of some plants, such as in potato tubers.Amyloplasts and chloroplasts are closely related, and amyloplasts can turn into chloroplasts; this is can be seen when potato tubers are exposed to light and turn green
What function do the leukoplast have in the potato plant?
the leucoplasts are plastids without color that are storing different substances (such as starch in the potato). you can find leucoplasts in parts of a plant that are subterranean (roots). when potatoes are exposed to the sun the leucoplasts will transform into chloroplasts (so they will become green). i am sorry for my english...
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 does the horseradish plant look like?
It is a root vegetable kinda like a long potato

Are potatoes unicellular or multicellular?
Yes. A potato plant is like any other flowering plant with many specialised cells. One cell organell (intra cellular body) which makes plant cells different from animal cells is the presence of chloroplasts the part of the cell which traps light and uses the energy to produce carbohydrates. In potato plants, the carbohydrate starch is stored in the tubers which we eat.
What is a potato blight?
potato blight are potato mold,potato disease,potato mildew and potato murrain.
