What details can be observed when an onion slide is placed under a microscope?
When an onion slide is placed under a microscope, you can observe the cell structure, cell walls, cell membranes, and possibly the nucleus of the onion cells. The cells will appear as small, rectangular shapes with distinct boundaries. Additionally, you may see any organelles present within the cells.
When the onion cell is placed in the pure water the size of the cell would be bigger after one hour but when you placed the cheek cell into the pure water it will burst why is that so?
An Onion cell as a contractile vacuole. This allows the cells to remover more water especially when placed into a hypotonic solution. An epithelial skin cell of the cheek does not have a contractile vacuole. The acess water cannot be stored, therefore the cell bursts.
What happen to onion cell epidermis if placed in hypertonic solution?
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.
What would happen to red onion cell if sucrose solution added?
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).
What is the structure and function of an onion cell?
The structure of an onion cell includes a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and vacuole. The function of an onion cell is to store nutrients, provide support, and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
What happens to an onion cell when placed in baking soda solution?
When an onion cell is placed in a baking soda solution, which is basic, it can undergo changes in its osmotic balance. The high concentration of sodium bicarbonate may cause water to move out of the onion cells, leading to plasmolysis, where the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. As a result, the onion cells may appear shriveled and less turgid. The basic environment can also affect the cell's internal pH and potentially impact cellular processes.
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
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.

What happens when half an onion is dipped into alcohol?
What happens is the alcohol starts to shred the onion. Next alcohol is soaked up inside the onion which starts to make the onion shrink. The cell can't take the acid that goes in it shrinks and dissolves.
What would most likely happen to an onion cell if it were placed in a liquid with an high concentration of solutes?
The cell will lose water and shrivel.
What happens to a cell when is placed in a hypersonic solution?
The cell expands/gets bigger.

What is a description of Onion cell?
describe onion cell
How do you think the response of an animal cell would be different from the response of the onion cells?
the animal cell is in the animal and the onion cell is in the onion
What happens when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
Nothing. There would be no gradient between the cell and the solution.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
