A yeast cell is a unicellular fungus, while an onion skin cell is part of a multicellular plant tissue. Yeast cells are typically oval or round and reproduce asexually through budding, whereas onion skin cells are rectangular and have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose. Additionally, yeast cells lack chloroplasts and do not perform photosynthesis, unlike onion cells, which contain chloroplasts for this purpose. Lastly, yeast cells have a more flexible cell membrane, while onion skin cells have a more rigid structure due to their cell wall.
The main function of the onion skin cell is to protect the rest of the onion

the chloroplast
yes yes
If you place an onion skin cell into a 10 percent sugar solution, water will flow out of the cell via osmosis due to the higher concentration of sugar outside the cell. This will cause the cell to shrink and undergo plasmolysis as it loses water and shrivels up.
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.
yes because it is a plant
A cell wall.
The cell wall in the onion skin cells gives them a more rigid shape compared to cheek cells, which lack a cell wall and instead have a flexible cell membrane. The cell wall provides structural support and protection for the cell, helping maintain its shape.
To prepare an onion cell slide for microscopic examination, first peel off a thin layer of the onion skin. Place the thin layer on a microscope slide and add a drop of water to the onion skin. Gently place a coverslip over the onion skin to create a flat surface for viewing under the microscope. Finally, carefully place the slide on the microscope stage and adjust the focus to observe the onion cells.
The thick layer that surrounds onion cells is called the cell wall. This is common in plant cells and is used to block certain ions from entering.
