What will happen if you put onion skin cell into 10 percent sugar solution?
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.
How does the structure of an onion skin cell differ from other plant cells?
The structure of an onion skin cell differs from other plant cells in that it lacks chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis. Onion skin cells also have a unique rectangular shape and a thin cell wall compared to other plant cells.
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 process of preparing an onion cell slide for microscopic examination?
To prepare an onion cell slide for microscopic examination, first peel off a thin layer of the onion skin. Place the thin layer on a microscope slide and add a drop of water to the onion skin. Gently place a coverslip over the onion skin to create a flat surface for viewing under the microscope. Finally, carefully place the slide on the microscope stage and adjust the focus to observe the onion cells.
Why do you need to use the thin transparent layer from the inside of the onion tissuerather than the fleshy part of the onion?
The thin transparent layer of the onion, called the epidermis or skin, contains the highest concentration of flavonoids and quercetin, which are antioxidants. These compounds possess potential health benefits such as reducing inflammation and protecting against oxidative stress. The fleshy part of the onion also contains these compounds but in lower concentrations.
What is the function of onion skin cells?
The main function of the onion skin cell is to protect the rest of the onion
Which has the greater surface area in relation to its volume a cube 3cm sides or a microscopic cube the size of an onion skin cell?
The onion skin sized one.The onion skin sized one.The onion skin sized one.The onion skin sized one.
Parts of an onion skin cell that you can not see?
the chloroplast
Is red onion skin a cell?
yes yes
What is the outer layer called on an onion?
It's the onion's skin.

Does an onion skin cell have a nucleus?
yes because it is a plant
How is a yeast cell different from an onion skin cell?
A yeast cell is a unicellular fungus, while an onion skin cell is part of a multicellular plant tissue. Yeast cells are typically oval or round and reproduce asexually through budding, whereas onion skin cells are rectangular and have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose. Additionally, yeast cells lack chloroplasts and do not perform photosynthesis, unlike onion cells, which contain chloroplasts for this purpose. Lastly, yeast cells have a more flexible cell membrane, while onion skin cells have a more rigid structure due to their cell wall.
What does onion skin cells have that cheek cells don't?
A cell wall.
