I think that it is chloroplasts because chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and need light to work and since onions are grown underground they do not need light to grow. I am not 100% sure but I think that it makes sense.

What plant organelle is missing from the onion cell?
Because, it is very small. You will need a electron microscope to see it.
What structure observe in onion epidermal cells are not present in human epithelial cells?
The structure of onion epidermal cells refers to the arrangement of tissues in this cells. You can find the structure of onion epidermal cells online athttp://biology.touchspin.com/onion_epidermis.php. The structures observed in an onion epidermal cell, which are not present in the human epithelial cells are cell wall, central vacuole and vacuolar membrane.
What is the shape of a oinon cell?
Onion cells are rectangular in shape. They are kind of irregular, though. They are gray under a microscope unless they are dyed with iodine. because onion grows underground and gets no sunlight for photosynthesis, the plant doesn't waste its chloroplasts on its onions
How do cells of the onion specimen appear under the microscope?
The cells of the onion appeared to be crooked.
Why are onion cells approximately the same shape?
Onion cells are arranged in a closely packaged way. This is so that they layers of the onion can be thick and tough.
Why are no chloroplasts fond in the onion cells?
Onions are underground structures. They do not get sunlight.
What structures did you see inside the onion cells and what sre there functions?
The golgi apparatus mitochondria ribosomes are present in the onion cells which is absent in the cork cell. Both contain cell wall and have cells in rectangular shape.
What plant organelle is missing from the onion cell?
Because, it is very small. You will need a electron microscope to see it.
Predict the function of the onion cells that you observed under the microscope. What prominent cell structures would justify your prediction?
The function of the onion cell is to store energy and water for the onion, which will be used later on.
What structure observe in onion epidermal cells are not present in human epithelial cells?
The structure of onion epidermal cells refers to the arrangement of tissues in this cells. You can find the structure of onion epidermal cells online athttp://biology.touchspin.com/onion_epidermis.php. The structures observed in an onion epidermal cell, which are not present in the human epithelial cells are cell wall, central vacuole and vacuolar membrane.
Where are onion cells found?
All organisms are made of cells. An onion is and organism, hence all parts of an onion are made of cells.
What is the shape of a oinon cell?
Onion cells are rectangular in shape. They are kind of irregular, though. They are gray under a microscope unless they are dyed with iodine. because onion grows underground and gets no sunlight for photosynthesis, the plant doesn't waste its chloroplasts on its onions
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
Which of the 2 cells cheek or onion cells have a regular arrangement and structure?
Between the 2 cells that are cheek and onion cells, the one that has a regular arrangement and structure are onion cells. Cheek cells have an irregular shape.
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.
Does onion have cytoplasm?
All cells have cytoplasm, so yes, onion cells have cytoplasm.
Why does an onion not have a cytoplasm?
All cells have cytoplasm, so yes, onion cells do have cytoplasm.
