What else can I help you with?
Parts of an onion skin cell that you can not see?
the chloroplast
What structures were you able to see in the onion cell?
The Human cell and Onion cell have Nucleus
What cell structures can be seen in a stain onion cell?
The structure that is seen is the cell wall. This keeps the shape of the cell and is only found in plant cells. The organelles that can be see in a stained onion cells all depends on your microscope. Under a x400 light microscope we could see the cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm,
Why is iodine used when observing onion cells?
AnswerIodine was used to stain onion epidermal cells so you could see the cells more clearly and examine them. Naturally, the cell parts are difficult to see because they are clear.You put iodine on onion cells in order to make parts of the cell which were translucent, more visible. This is because iodine stains starch present in the onion cell.
Why do you use the onion for cell sample and not the leaf?
An onion is easy to peel to 1 layer of cells, and with a light microscope you cant see the individual cells in a leaf. Also the cell obtained from the bulb of onion is colorless, hence it can be easly stained with different dyes to study the cell organells under the microscope.
Why onion is used to see the structure of a plant cell?
because it has plant cells
Can any one see the cell wall of onion through the microscope?
Yes.
Can you clearly see as a structure the cell membrane in check cells and the cell wall inthe onion skin clls?
Yes. If viewed under even a simple light microscope, the cell structure of a cheek cell and the cell walls of an onion cell can clearly be seen.
What does effect iodine have on the onion cells?
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.
Why can you see the parts of a onion under a microsope?
You can see the parts of an onion under a microscope because onion cells are relatively large and have distinct cell structures, such as the cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm. The onion's transparent cell walls allow light to pass through, making it easier to observe the details. Additionally, when stained, the cells become more visible, highlighting various components under the microscope. This combination of size, transparency, and staining makes onion cells ideal for microscopic examination.
Is the cell wall distinct from the cell membrane when viewing an onion cell under low power?
Pretty sure no, can't see cell membrane under low power.
Why was it necessary to stain the onion and the cheek cells?
So you can see different components of the cell. Like the nucleus.
