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 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.


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

The Onion cell and cheek cell both had cytoplasm, nucleuses, and cell membranes under 400x Magnification


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*)


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.


How would you describe the cytoplasm of an onion cell and a cheek cell?

The cytoplasm of both an onion cell and a cheek cell contains various organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes. In an onion cell, the cytoplasm is dense and filled with starch grains, while in a cheek cell, the cytoplasm is more watery and may contain enzymes for digestion. Both cytoplasms play a role in supporting the cell's functions and maintaining its structure.

What cell parts did you find in the onion cell but not in the cheek cells?

Introduction in an onion and cheek slide in a biology practical?

In an onion slide preparation, thin layers of onion cells are placed on a slide, stained, and observed under a microscope to study cell structure. On the other hand, a cheek slide involves gently scraping cells from the inside of the cheek, staining them, and examining them microscopically. Both slides are commonly used in biology practicals to observe and compare plant (onion) and animal (cheek) cell structure.


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 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.
