Onion cells do not have chloroplasts because the onion is underground where there is no light. Without light chloroplasts have no purpose, so onion cells just don't have them.


Where are the chloroplasts in the onion cells?

There are no chloroplasts in bulb.Thats because they do not get sunlight.


What structure can be seen in Elodea leaf but not present in epidermal cells of onion cells?

Chloroplasts can be seen in Elodea leaf cells but not in the epidermal cells of onion cells. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, containing chlorophyll that captures sunlight for energy production. Onion epidermal cells do not contain chloroplasts as they do not perform photosynthesis.


Can you observe any chloroplast in the onion cell using microscope?

No, you cannot observe chloroplasts in onion cells because onion cells do not contain chloroplasts. Onions belong to a group of plants known as monocots, which typically lack chloroplasts in their cells. Chloroplasts are mostly found in the cells of green plants that undergo photosynthesis.


Do onions have chloroplasts in their cells?

The bulb of the onion does not but the leaves of the onion plant do.


What parts of the onion cells are not found in the blood cells?

An onion cell has a cell wall and a large central vacuole, both of which are not present in mammalian blood cells. Additionally, onion cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, while blood cells do not contain chloroplasts.


Why the chloroplasts is not present in the onion cell?

You can't see chloroplasts in an onion skin cell since the onion was underground. When the onion is underground, the sun can't reach the onion so the onion skin cells can't make glucose. The onion does have chloroplasts in its cells at the top of the onion. That's where he sunlight can reach the onion.


Do the onion scale leaf cells contain chloroplast?

No. Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form.


What cell has chloroplasts onion cell or elodea cell?

Both. Both cells are plant cells and plant cells have chloroplasts. (Elodea is the waterweeds)


Why are chloroplasts absent in onion epidermal cells and potato tubular cells?

Onion epidermal cells and potato tuber cells do not contain chloroplasts because they do not require photosynthesis for energy production. These cells mainly function in storage and support, so they do not need chloroplasts for the process of photosynthesis.


Do the cells of the onion bulb possess chloroplasts?

Onions are the root bulbs of onion plants. The plant itself contains chloroplasts, which cause the green colour, whereas the onion bulb itself contains other pigments and few, if any, chloroplasts.
