There is starch present within the onion cell which causes the black-blue color reaction when introduced to iodine.
Fungal cell walls are primarily made of chitin, while plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose. Fungal cell walls do not contain lignin, which is found in plant cell walls and provides rigidity. Additionally, fungal cell walls do not have chloroplasts like plant cell walls do.
No, cats do not have cell walls. Cell walls are a rigid layer surrounding the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria, providing structure and support. In animals, including cats, cells are surrounded by a cell membrane but do not have cell walls.
Yes, plants have cell walls. Cell walls are rigid structures that surround plant cells, providing support and structure to the plant. The cell walls are primarily composed of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate.
Common biological stains used for plant studies include iodine solution for starch detection, safranin for staining cell walls and nuclei, and toluidine blue for highlighting lignified cell walls. These stains help researchers visualize and study cellular structures and processes in plants.
No, only plant cells have cell walls! Animal cells have a cell membrane.
Yes. All plants have cell walls, this includes onions. I think it is because it makes the plants themselves stronger but I'm not sure about the explanation, all I know is that plants' cell's have cell walls.
Iodine is often used to stain onion cells to make the cell structures more visible under a microscope. The iodine solution will stain specific cell components such as the cell walls and starch grains, allowing for easier observation and analysis of the cells.
The iodine solution stained the onion cell by binding to starch molecules present in the cell. This caused the cell to appear darker or blue-black under a microscope, allowing for better visualization of the cell's structures like the nucleus and cell walls.
Iodine stains the onion so it is easier to see the cellular features, such as the nucleus, cell wall, and cytoplasm.
Fungal cell walls are primarily made of chitin, while plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose. Fungal cell walls do not contain lignin, which is found in plant cell walls and provides rigidity. Additionally, fungal cell walls do not have chloroplasts like plant cell walls do.
Iodine is absorbed by Nitella sp., a sea-dwelling alga, through a process called bioaccumulation. The alga absorbs iodine from the surrounding water through its cell walls and accumulates it in its tissues. This accumulation process allows the alga to maintain adequate levels of iodine for its metabolic functions.
Iodine is used to stain water specimens for microscopic observation because it highlights structures like starch grains or cell walls. This makes it easier to visualize and study these structures under the microscope.
