Iodine dyes cells a purple color. This enables things to be seen easier under a microscope.
If you place an onion skin cell into a 10 percent sugar solution, water will flow out of the cell via osmosis due to the higher concentration of sugar outside the cell. This will cause the cell to shrink and undergo plasmolysis as it loses water and shrivels up.
If an onion cell epidermis is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell due to osmosis, causing the cell to shrink and the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall. This process is known as plasmolysis.
When a red onion cell is placed in a sucrose solution, water from inside the cell will move out due to osmosis. This will cause the cell to shrink and lose its turgidity as water moves from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration (from inside the cell to the solution outside).
You should adjust the fine focus knob to sharpen the image when viewing the onion cell under high-power objective (HPO) on a microscope. Rotate the knob gently to focus the specimen until the image appears clear.
A hypotonic solution, such as distilled water, would most likely be used to return the red onion cell to its original condition. This solution would cause the cell to take in water and swell up, potentially reversing any plasmolysis that occurred.

The iodine solution stained the onion cell by binding to starch molecules present in the cell. This caused the cell to appear darker or blue-black under a microscope, allowing for better visualization of the cell's structures like the nucleus and cell walls.

This depends on the nature of the NaCl solution...If it is a Hyper-tonic solution (More concentrated solution than onion cells), water will move by osmosis down it's concentration gradient, from a region of less negative water potential (high Ψ) in the onion cell, to a region of more negative water potential (low Ψ) in the solution through a selectively/partially permeable membrane;so the onion cell will be plasmolysed and will look "flaccid" (vacuole gets smaller and shrinks).The vice versa happens with a Hypo-tonic (less concentrated solution than onion cell) NaCl solution;The onion cell will then look "turgid" (has a large vacuole exerting a pressure on the cytoplasm and pushing it towards the cell's cellwall to make it "tensed".

In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.

becuse of the lodine solution
one solute is Logols Solution. I think!
A cell is hypertonic when it has a greater concentration than its environment, but, when a solution is hypertonic, it has a greater concentration than the cell it is being compared to. For example, a 5% salt solution is hypertonic to an onion cell while the onion cell is hypotonic to the solution.The salt concentration of an onion cell must be less than 5% - actually its somewhere between 1.6 and 1.3 percent.This question should not be in genetics, but I don't feel like switching it.
