How does the structure of an onion cell wall contribute to the overall function of the onion plant?
The structure of an onion cell wall provides support and protection to the cell, helping the onion plant maintain its shape and resist external stress. This allows the plant to grow and thrive in various environments.
How does the structure of an onion skin cell differ from other plant cells?
The structure of an onion skin cell differs from other plant cells in that it lacks chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis. Onion skin cells also have a unique rectangular shape and a thin cell wall compared to other plant cells.
Why do onion cells look so different than human cheek cells?
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.
What is the structure and function of onion cells in plant biology?
The structure of onion cells consists of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, and a large central vacuole. The function of onion cells is to store nutrients, provide structural support, and regulate water balance within the plant.
What is the difference between an onion cell and a cheek cell?
Cheek cells are only found in animals, whereas onion cells are found in platns, particularly onion cells. Cheek cells, being animal cells, do not contain a cell wall as onion cells do becasue cell walls are found only in plant cells for structure and rigidness. Onion cells, unlike most plant cells, do not have chlorplasts becasue it does not need sunlight for photosynthesis as other plants do. Being grown underground, it receives nutrients directly from the soil, so chloraplasts are not evident. This is also why onions are never green, since chloroplasts contain chlorpohyll, a pigment which gives plants its green color. Basically, cheek cells are found in animals, and onion cells are found in plants.
Does an onion cell have membrane?
Yes, an onion is a plant and plants have cell membranes and cell walls
How do onion cells differ from other plant cells?
many
What parts of a plant cell have on an onion cell?
cell wall
Is a onion cell a plant cell or animal cell?
I have researched this question and spent a good amount of time trying to figure it out.My research says NO,onion cells are NOT typical plant cells.
How does the structure of an onion cell wall contribute to the overall function of the onion plant?
The structure of an onion cell wall provides support and protection to the cell, helping the onion plant maintain its shape and resist external stress. This allows the plant to grow and thrive in various environments.
What kind of plant cell is a root cell?
A onion is a root cell.
Is onion cell a eukaryote or prokaryote?
An onion cell is a plant cell, thereby it is eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are only found by bacterias.
A botanist hypothesis that all onion cells have the same shape how would you go about veryfying or disproving this?
an onion cell is a plant cell, in which plant cells are rectangular shape and so are onion cells
Does an onion cell has chloroplast?
yes because all plant cell have it
Why onion cell is not a animal cell?
Because it is obtained from the plant of onion and moreover it has a well defined cell wall, a characteristic feature of plants.
Does onion cell have chloroplast?
yes it can, if its a plant, then it has chloroplasts
Do onion cell have cell wall?
Yes, they do. All plant cells have cell walls.
