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.

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.


Are chloroplasts only present in the plant cell cytoplasm?

Chloroplasts are present in plant cell cytoplasm and in some of the protists cells.


Which part of a plant cell will you never find in a onion bulb?

As an onion cell is a cell, no cells are located in it, but maybe you mean organelles, which literally mean "tiny organs" and make up every cell. In that case, onion cells lack chloroplasts because they grow underground and therefore don't use the sun to produce energy (chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis).


What are 2 organelles not visible in onion cell?

Two organelles not visible in an onion cell are the centrioles and lysosomes. Centrioles are involved in cell division and are not present in plant cells like onion cells. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes and are more commonly found in animal cells.


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.

What structure you seen in hydrilla leaf cell but in onion cell?

The structures that are found in the hydrilla which are not found in the onion cell are chloroplasts, specifically the stomata and chlorophyll. Onions lack these structures because they grow underground.

Does a onion cell have a chloroplasts?

yes


What are the differences and similarities between onion and elodea cells?

similarities: cell wall present, cytoplasm, both eukaryote. difrences: elodea cell smaller vacuoles chloroplasts present unicellular onion cell: large vacuoles multicellular


Does onion cell have chloroplast?

yes it can, if its a plant, then it has chloroplasts


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 do you see chloroplasts in the Elodea cell but not the onion cell?

Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont needchloroplasts, so they dont have them.


What type of eukaryotic cell has chloroplasts?

Chloroplasts are present in plants.They are also in algae.

What part of the onion would have chloroplast?

All plant cells contain chloroplasts, the amount present depends on the function of the cell. for example leaves will contain loads of chloroplast, hence why they are green. The cells of an onion will still contain chloroplasts but only a few in comparison to the amount in a cell situated in the leaf. This is because onions are underground and aren't the primary site for photosynthesis.
