How does the edge of the cheek cell compare with the edge of the onion cell?
Onion cells, like most plant cells, have rigid cell walls which give them a regular shape. They are stacked tightly in columns and rows. Cheek cells have and irregularly shaped cell membrane. and are squished together in layers.
What is the size of an epidermal onion cell?
The average epithelial Onion Cell is 30.2 to 35.4 micrometers in diameter. I just did this exercise in cell bio lab.
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
Why do onion cells do not have chloroplast?
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.
Why does an onion not have a cytoplasm?
All cells have cytoplasm, so yes, onion cells do have cytoplasm.
What is the shape of the individual onion cells?
they are shaped in the form of a cell wall
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 approximately the same shape?
Onion cells are arranged in a closely packaged way. This is so that they layers of the onion can be thick and tough.

Where are onion cells found?
All organisms are made of cells. An onion is and organism, hence all parts of an onion are made of cells.
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion 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.

How do onion cells compare with whitefish cells in size?
A onion cell is : 0.2 mm
