Chloroplasts are larger than nuclei.

A typical Chloroplast measure 4 to 6 um,

and a typical nucleus measure about 3 um.

What structure can be seen in Elodea leaf but not present in epidermal cells of onion cells?

Chloroplasts can be seen in Elodea leaf cells but not in the epidermal cells of onion cells. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, containing chlorophyll that captures sunlight for energy production. Onion epidermal cells do not contain chloroplasts as they do not perform photosynthesis.


What is bigger cheek cells or onion cells?

Cheek cells are typically larger than onion cells. Cheek cells are human epithelial cells that make up the inside lining of the mouth, while onion cells are plant cells found in the epidermis of onion bulbs. Cheek cells are usually around 30-40 micrometers in size, while onion cells are generally smaller at around 0.1-0.2 millimeters.


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.


Onion cells and elodea cells structure differences?

An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.


What plant organelle is missing from the onion cell?

The onion cell is missing chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in green plants. Onion cells do not contain chlorophyll, so they do not require chloroplasts for photosynthetic processes.

How do potato cells differ from onion cells?

Potato cells have larger, more angular shape and contain starch granules, while onion cells are smaller and have a more rectangular shape with a distinct cell wall. Additionally, potato cells lack the characteristic onion cell layers seen in onion cells.


Why do onion cells do not have chloroplast?

Onion cells do not have chloroplasts because the onion is underground where there is no light. Without light chloroplasts have no purpose, so onion cells just don't have them.


Did onion has chloroplast?

Onion leaves have chloroplast but not the vegetable(bulb)....


Why do onion skin cells have no chloroplast?

because it is only found in green parts of plants


Do onion cells have chloroplast after being taken away from the ground?

Of course not they do not.They do not have DNA for that.


Do the onion scale leaf cells contain chloroplast?

No. Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form.

How do you account for the fact that some of the nuclei appear to be centrally located in the cells of onion epidermal cells?

Becuase the necleus is in the middleYes, plants are made of cells that contain nuclei. The only living things that do not contain nuclei in their cells are bacteria.Plant cells have nuclei


Why would you not find a chloroplast in a onion root cell?

the reason you wouldn't see chloroplasts is because the onion root tip is underground where light can not reach and why would it need chloroplasts if it didn't need to produce energy form light?


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.


Is chloroplast found in onion?

yes
