ATP is a relatively unstable molecule so as soon as it's made it will be used in some process. It is continually made and used.

Cells contain only a small amount of ATP because it is a high-energy molecule that is constantly being used and regenerated within the cell. ATP is quickly turned over as an energy source for various cellular processes, so a small amount is sufficient for immediate needs and can be replenished as needed.

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.
