Yes, onion cells have a cell membrane. The cell membrane is a semi-permeable barrier that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It is an essential structure for maintaining cell integrity and function.


What is the difference between an onion cell and a cheek cell?

Cheek cells are only found in animals, whereas onion cells are found in platns, particularly onion cells. Cheek cells, being animal cells, do not contain a cell wall as onion cells do becasue cell walls are found only in plant cells for structure and rigidness. Onion cells, unlike most plant cells, do not have chlorplasts becasue it does not need sunlight for photosynthesis as other plants do. Being grown underground, it receives nutrients directly from the soil, so chloraplasts are not evident. This is also why onions are never green, since chloroplasts contain chlorpohyll, a pigment which gives plants its green color. Basically, cheek cells are found in animals, and onion cells are found in plants.


What cell structure gave the onion skin cells a more rigid shape than your cheek cells?

The cell wall in the onion skin cells gives them a more rigid shape compared to cheek cells, which lack a cell wall and instead have a flexible cell membrane. The cell wall provides structural support and protection for the cell, helping maintain its shape.

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.
