Onion cells are larger. Skin cheek cells are smaller probably due to the fact that they're overlapped or rolled up.

What are the differences in onion cells cheek cells and amoeba cells?

Onion cells are plant cells, cheek cells are human cells and amoebas split? (i'm smart as well as beautiful, I also managed to keep my airhead image by putting a ? at the end, *giggles flirtily*)


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.


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

Well, one is a cell from a plant and another is from an animal, so they're very different. Onion cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole and plants-only organelles like chloroplast. Cheek cells lack cell walls, has a significantly greater amount of mitochondria and has lysosomes while plant cells very rarely have any lysosomes.


Describe how the onion and cheek cell were similar in observed parts what parts did they have common?

Describe how the onion and cheek cell were similar in observed parts what parts did they have common? Well they are similar because they both have a nucleus and cytoplasm. They are different because in an onion cell there is a cell wall, doesnt have chlorplast, and it is a plant. For a cheek cell it has a cell membrane, doesnt have a cell wall, and is an animal.


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.

Why are onion cells in a sheet and cheek cells individual units?

Due to the techniques of obtaining the samples, onion cells remain intact in the tissue, but because cheek cells are obtained by rubbing a toothpick on your cheek, you are disrupting the cheek tissue, and instead of getting a sheet of cheek cells, you get individual cheek cells.

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.

What are the Characteristics of cheek cells leaf cells and onion cells?

Cheek cells are flat, irregularly shaped, and have a nucleus. Leaf cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis and have a defined cell wall. Onion cells have a distinct rectangular shape, lack chloroplasts, and contain a large central vacuole.
