Onion cells are plant cells, so they have a cell wall and more angular shape (but no chloroplasts, like some plant cells, since they are not part of the photosynthesizing part of the onion plant)
Human cheek cells are animal cells, so the biggest difference is that they have no cell wall and thus a rounder shape.

∙ 13y agoa leaf cell has chloroplast in it because of photosynthesis and an onion skin cell has no chloroplast as it grows underground and does not photosynthesize.

2. The chloroplasts in the onion cells are more widely arranged.

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 is bigger cheek cells or onion cells?
Onion cells are larger. Skin cheek cells are smaller probably due to the fact that they're overlapped or rolled up.
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 cell structure gave the onion skin cells a more rigid shape than your cheek cells?
Plant cells (the onion skin cells) have a cell wall, while animal cells (cheek cells) only have the cell membrane.
Why do onion and elodea cells have a more definite shape than the human cheek cells?
Elodea and onion cells have more consistent shapes than human epithelial cells because they have cell walls. The human epithelial cells do not have defined cell walls.
Why are onion cells different to cheek cell?
because they are
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
What causes the shape of a human cheek cell to be different from the shape of onion's epidermal cell?
plant cells have a cell wall - animal cells do not
What are the differences in onion cells cheek cells and amoeba 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.
What is bigger cheek cells or onion cells?
Onion cells are larger. Skin cheek cells are smaller probably due to the fact that they're overlapped or rolled up.
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 Characteristics of cheek cells leaf cells and onion cells?
cheek is eukaryotic multicellular and sexual
What cell parts did you find in the onion cell but not in the cheek cells?
The onion cells are much more rectangle shaped, than the cheek cells and the nucleus in the onion cell is much more bigger and better seen in the microscope.
Why was it necessary to stain the onion and the cheek cells?
So you can see different components of the cell. Like the nucleus.
What does onion skin cells have that cheek cells don't?
A cell wall.
