Do onion cell have a cell membrane?
no they have cell walls because only animal cells have cell membrains
What is the similarities in hydrilla cells and onion cells?
They are both plant cells and have cell walls.
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 difference between a bacterial cell and a onion peel cell?
Bacteria cells are prokaryote, that is they have a lose gathering of genetic material and few organelles, ribosomes being the most of that. Cell walls. Onion cells are plant cells that are eukaryote. They have membrane bound organelles and a membrane bound nucleus for the genetic material. Like bacteria, plants have a cell wall.
Can you clearly see as a structure the cell membrane in check cells and the cell wall inthe onion skin clls?
Yes. If viewed under even a simple light microscope, the cell structure of a cheek cell and the cell walls of an onion cell can clearly be seen.
What is the similarities in hydrilla cells and onion cells?
They are both plant cells and have cell walls.
Do onion cell have a cell membrane?
no they have cell walls because only animal cells have cell membrains
Do onion cell have cell wall?
Yes, they do. All plant cells have cell walls.
Why do onion and elodea cells have a more definite shape than the human cheek cells?
Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.
Why do onion cells look so different than human cheek cells?
Onion cells are plant cells, so they have a cell wall and more angular shape (but no chloroplasts, like some plant cells, since they are not part of the photosynthesizing part of the onion plant) Human cheek cells are animal cells, so the biggest difference is that they have no cell wall and thus a rounder shape.
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 structure observe in onion epidermal cells are not present in human epithelial cells?
The structure of onion epidermal cells refers to the arrangement of tissues in this cells. You can find the structure of onion epidermal cells online athttp://biology.touchspin.com/onion_epidermis.php. The structures observed in an onion epidermal cell, which are not present in the human epithelial cells are cell wall, central vacuole and vacuolar membrane.
What is the difference between a bacterial cell and a onion peel cell?
Bacteria cells are prokaryote, that is they have a lose gathering of genetic material and few organelles, ribosomes being the most of that. Cell walls. Onion cells are plant cells that are eukaryote. They have membrane bound organelles and a membrane bound nucleus for the genetic material. Like bacteria, plants have a cell wall.
Why do the onion cells look like boxes?
Probably because the cells are dead, and all that remain are the cell walls. The perimeter of the box is the cell wall, dead or alive.
Does an onion cell have membrane?
Yes, an onion is a plant and plants have cell membranes and cell walls
How is bacterial cell different from onion cell?
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic and the cells of an onion are eukaryotic.
Where is the cell membrane in the cells that have cell walls?
The cell membrane is found just inside under the cell wall in plant cells, which are the cells with cell walls Animal cells do not have cell walls.
