How do the structures or lack of structures of an onion cell and Elodea cell compare to where they are each found?
Onion cells are typically found in the storage tissues of the onion bulb, which results in a lack of chloroplasts and a more compact structure suited for nutrient storage. In contrast, Elodea cells, found in aquatic environments, possess chloroplasts for photosynthesis, giving them a more elongated and flexible structure to maximize light absorption. The presence of a rigid cell wall in both cell types provides structural support, but the differences reflect their adapted functions in their respective environments.
What else can I help you with?
Which are smaller onion cells or elodea?
Elodea cells are smaller
What structure is found in elodea and not in potato and union cells?
The structure found in Elodea cells but not in potato and onion cells is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, which is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy to produce glucose. In Elodea, chloroplasts are abundant due to its aquatic environment, whereas in potato and onion cells, chloroplasts are less prevalent.
Does the elodea leaf and the onion both have vacuoles?
no
What is in the Elodea cell but not in the onion bulb cell?
chlolrplasts
Onion cells and elodea cells structure differences?
An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.
What important cellular process is performed by elodea cells but not by onion skin cells?
Elodea and onion plants are both multicellular eukaryotes, having cell walls composed primarily of cellulose enclosing a variety of membrane-bound structures called organelles. The cells each have a nucleus that carries genetic material; a vacuole; mitochondria; ribosomes; rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum; and chloroplasts that capture energy from sunlight.
What cell has chloroplasts onion cell or elodea cell?
Both. Both cells are plant cells and plant cells have chloroplasts. (Elodea is the waterweeds)
Why do you see chloroplasts in the Elodea cell but not the onion cell?
Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont needchloroplasts, so they dont have them.
What organelles are present in a elodea cell and not in an onion cell?
Elodea cells, which are aquatic plant cells, contain chloroplasts that are responsible for photosynthesis, allowing them to convert light energy into chemical energy. In contrast, onion cells are typically underground and do not have chloroplasts since they do not perform photosynthesis. Additionally, Elodea cells often have larger central vacuoles that store water and nutrients, while onion cells may have smaller vacuoles.
What are the differences and similarities between onion and elodea cells?
similarities: cell wall present, cytoplasm, both eukaryote. difrences: elodea cell smaller vacuoles chloroplasts present unicellular onion cell: large vacuoles multicellular
What structure can be seen in Elodea leaf but not present in epidermal cells of onion cells?
Chloroplasts can be seen in Elodea leaf cells but not in the epidermal cells of onion cells. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, containing chlorophyll that captures sunlight for energy production. Onion epidermal cells do not contain chloroplasts as they do not perform photosynthesis.
What structure you seen in hydrilla leaf cell but in onion cell?
The structures that are found in the hydrilla which are not found in the onion cell are chloroplasts, specifically the stomata and chlorophyll. Onions lack these structures because they grow underground.
