When looking at the elodea under the microscope notice the chloroplasts appear to be only along sides of the cell. This due to the large, fluid filled, membrane bounded central vacuole which pushes the cytoplasm against the cell walls.

Elodea leaves have chloroplasts because the leaves need to change sunlight into sugar, if they didn't have chloroplasts, they cant do that through the process of photosynthesis.

Do chloroplasts move in elodea cells?

Today I just did a lab viewing elodea cells and human cheek cells. When I viewed the Elodea cells on the highest power, I saw chloroplasts moving. They looked like tiny green spheres moving in little groups of two or more on a set of "tracks". I hope this answers the question.


What cell has chloroplasts onion cell or elodea cell?

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


Do elodea cells have chloroplasts?

yes


Are chloroplasts present in elodea oblong cells?

yes because the elodea is a plant cell


Onion cells and elodea cells structure differences?

An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.


How do human epithelial cells and elodea cells different?

First of all elodea cells are plant cells while epithelial cells are animal. Which means elodea has: a cell wall, chloroplasts, and are square shaped. Animal Cells: round, don't have cell walls just a membrane, and because they are heterotrophic they don't have chloroplasts.


Are there organelles in elodea?

Yes the organelles float inside the Cytoplasm inside the Elodea cells.


What structure could you see in the Elodea cells?

The cell wall surrounding all plant cells


Do onions have choroplasts do elodea plants carry out photosynthesis?

Just did this lab in Biology. Onion cells do not have chloroplasts; therefore, they do not possess the green pigment, chlorophyll, that chloroplasts produce. Elodea plants do carry out photosynthesis.
