Onion cells are clear because they are underground and protected. Therefore they have no chlorophyll to give them any color.
The hypothesis of observing onion cells under a microscope could be that the onion cells will have a distinct rectangular shape and contain a visible nucleus.
All organisms are made of cells. An onion is and organism, hence all parts of an onion are made of cells.
safranine stain is used to stain onion cells
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
The cells in an onion tip but not the onion itself are usually actively dividing cells located at the growing tip of the onion root, known as the root cap cells. These cells help protect the delicate meristematic cells responsible for root growth and can often be found in the root zone of plants.
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.
Onion cells do not have chloroplasts because the onion is underground where there is no light. Without light chloroplasts have no purpose, so onion cells just don't have them.
A onion cell is : 0.2 mm
All cells have cytoplasm, so yes, onion cells have cytoplasm.
Potato cells have larger, more angular shape and contain starch granules, while onion cells are smaller and have a more rectangular shape with a distinct cell wall. Additionally, potato cells lack the characteristic onion cell layers seen in onion cells.
The epidermal cells of an onion are located on the outermost layer of the onion bulb, forming a protective barrier.
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic and the cells of an onion are eukaryotic.
