Observing the meristem of an onion root reveals regions of active cell division, characterized by densely packed cells that are small and undifferentiated. This area, known as the root tip or apical meristem, is crucial for root growth and development. One can also see the organization of cells into distinct zones, including the zone of cell division and the zone of elongation. Additionally, the presence of root cap cells protecting the meristem can be noted.
What else can I help you with?
What part of an onion root tip has the greatest rate of cell division?
The meristem, located at the tip of the root, has the greatest rate of cell division in an onion root tip. This region is responsible for the growth and elongation of the root, leading to the production of new cells through mitosis.
Which structures can't be seen in an onion?
Chloroplasts
Does observing describe only what is seen?
yes
What is granulated onion?
Granulated onion is a course grind of dehydrated onion. It is often seen in salad dressings, soups and broths, BBQ sauces, and dips.
Does observing involve only describing what is seen?
yes
Why is the root tip of an onion heated with acid?
The acid hardens the root tip so that it is less likely to break. The root tips have to be heated so that the stain is up taken and able to properly reach the chromatin ( which is dyed by the acectic orecin stain). This helps the cells to be seen more clearly under the microscope.
What cell parts were seen exclusively in paramecium squamous cell and onion root cell?
In paramecium, the presence of cilia is a distinctive feature, as these hair-like structures aid in movement and feeding. In contrast, onion root cells exhibit a prominent cell wall and large central vacuoles, which are not found in paramecium. While both cell types have organelles like nuclei and mitochondria, the specific structures highlight their differing functions and adaptations to their environments.
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.
Is there a Lipton dry onion soup low sodium?
Yes there is I have seen it in the store.
What cell parts did you find in the onion cell but not in the cheek cells?
The onion cells are much more rectangle shaped, than the cheek cells and the nucleus in the onion cell is much more bigger and better seen in the microscope.
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,
How can youtell that an onion cell has depth?
You can tell that an onion cell has depth by observing its three-dimensional structure under a microscope. When viewed in a thin slice, the cell's layers can be seen, and the varying thickness of these layers indicates depth. Additionally, using techniques like differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy can enhance the perception of depth by highlighting the contours and boundaries of the cell. Overall, the spatial arrangement and the presence of organelles within the cell contribute to the understanding of its depth.
