we stain onion and cheek cells for the following reasons:
To prevent the cells from drying quickly
To preserve them
To disinfect them
To make the organelles clearly visible
By doing so you will get a clear picture on the microscope and dear reader also remember that you should always keep the cove slid carefully to avoid bubbles in the mount.
Hope this piece of information has helped you. All the best

What can you observe when you stain a cheek cell with methylene blue stain?
You can observe cheek cells
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*)
Stain name used for onion cells?
safranine stain is used to stain onion cells

Plant cells (the onion skin cells) have a cell wall, while animal cells (cheek cells) only have the cell membrane.
Why was it necessary to stain the onion and the cheek cells?
So you can see different components of the cell. Like the nucleus.
