iodine stains the onion cells so that you can see the cell better. you can see the nuclei and cytoplasm.
Do onion cells still have chloroplasts when they have iodine on them?
The iodine has no connection as to whether the cells have chloroplasts or not. If the cells are green, then they do have them. Adding iodine doesn't change that fact. Not all cells of the plant have chloroplasts. The ones in the soil don't so if you are working with the bulb, it doesn't have chloroplasts in the first place.
How do you look for vacuole at onion cell through light microscope?
You should use iodine to stain the cells. Set the cells on a slide, let them dry you will repeat the process until it is completely covered in iodine and then you will slide it in the stage and then hopefully you will then see the sells of the onion skins.
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.
