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.
because it is only found in green parts of plants
Potato cells have larger, more angular shape and contain starch granules, while onion cells are smaller and have a more rectangular shape with a distinct cell wall. Additionally, potato cells lack the characteristic onion cell layers seen in onion cells.
the reason you wouldn't see chloroplasts is because the onion root tip is underground where light can not reach and why would it need chloroplasts if it didn't need to produce energy form light?
The difference between potato cells and onion cells, check cells, and lettuce cells is the presence of starch in the potato cells chloroplast organelles. The difference between cheek cells and the rest is easier the cheek cells do not have chloroplasts at all.
yes
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.
Onion leaves have chloroplast but not the vegetable(bulb)....

Of course not they do not.They do not have DNA for that.

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

No, the nuclei in onion cells are generally larger than the chloroplasts. Nuclei are the control center of the cell and contain genetic material, while chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis.
yes
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.
Onion are under the soil.So they do not get sunlight for photosynthesis
