What cell structures can be seen in a stain onion cell?
The structure that is seen is the cell wall. This keeps the shape of the cell and is only found in plant cells. The organelles that can be see in a stained onion cells all depends on your microscope. Under a x400 light microscope we could see the cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm,
Why do you use the onion for cell sample and not the leaf?
An onion is easy to peel to 1 layer of cells, and with a light microscope you cant see the individual cells in a leaf. Also the cell obtained from the bulb of onion is colorless, hence it can be easly stained with different dyes to study the cell organells under the microscope.
What are the differences in cell organelles between onion cells potato cells cheek cells and lettuce cells?
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.
Why are the onion cells shaped the way they are?
Onion cells have large vacuoles in their interior that store water molecules. Cells are arranged in a closely packed way in the onion tissue and hence appear as a brick wall when stained and viewed under the microscope.
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
What is differences do you see in the stained and unstained onion cells?
Stains were developed for different applications precisely because they make objects or features of objects easier to see and differentiate. The stains make things easier to see because they were made for that purpose.
Which parts of the onion cells stood out the most after they were stained?
Only you know that because you did the experiment not us.

What is onion peel generally stained with?
methylene blue

What are the structures that can be observed in stained onion cells?
we were able to see the different organells of the cells including cell wall ,plasma membarane,nucleous,cytoplasm mitochondria ,vacoules etc since we viewd from an electo microscope
Which kind of onion is easier to digest?
The sweet onion is milder and easier to digest.
Where are onion cells found?
All organisms are made of cells. An onion is and organism, hence all parts of an onion are made of cells.
Why are the onion cells shaped the way they are?
Onion cells have large vacuoles in their interior that store water molecules. Cells are arranged in a closely packed way in the onion tissue and hence appear as a brick wall when stained and viewed under the microscope.
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
Which of the 2 cells cheek or onion cells have a regular arrangement and structure?
Between the 2 cells that are cheek and onion cells, the one that has a regular arrangement and structure are onion cells. Cheek cells have an irregular shape.
