What happens to an onion cell when placed in vinegar?
When an onion cell is placed in vinegar, the cell membrane is broken down due to the acidic nature of vinegar. This causes the cell contents to leak out, resulting in the cell becoming plasmolyzed (shrinking away from the cell wall). Eventually, the cell may burst.
What does an onion cell look like after adding a salt solution NaCl?
This depends on the nature of the NaCl solution...If it is a Hyper-tonic solution (More concentrated solution than onion cells), water will move by osmosis down it's concentration gradient, from a region of less negative water potential (high Ψ) in the onion cell, to a region of more negative water potential (low Ψ) in the solution through a selectively/partially permeable membrane;so the onion cell will be plasmolysed and will look "flaccid" (vacuole gets smaller and shrinks).The vice versa happens with a Hypo-tonic (less concentrated solution than onion cell) NaCl solution;The onion cell will then look "turgid" (has a large vacuole exerting a pressure on the cytoplasm and pushing it towards the cell's cellwall to make it "tensed".
Does pickled onion is acid or alkaline?
Pickled onions are acidic due to the vinegar used in the pickling process. Vinegar is a dilute acetic acid solution, which gives pickled onions their tangy flavor.
What happens to an onion cell when placed in baking soda solution?
When an onion cell is placed in a baking soda solution, which is basic, it can undergo changes in its osmotic balance. The high concentration of sodium bicarbonate may cause water to move out of the onion cells, leading to plasmolysis, where the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. As a result, the onion cells may appear shriveled and less turgid. The basic environment can also affect the cell's internal pH and potentially impact cellular processes.
What is the function of dish washing liquid in onion DNA extraction?
Dish washing liquid helps to break down the cell membrane and release the DNA from the onion cells. It contains surfactants that disrupt the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, allowing the DNA to be released into the solution for extraction.
Why do you use iodine solution during the preparation of slide of onion peel?
Iodine solution is used to stain the cell contents in the prepared slide of onion peel. This helps highlight the cell structures and makes it easier to observe under a microscope, such as the nucleus and cytoplasm of the onion cells.
Does an onion cell have membrane?
Yes, an onion is a plant and plants have cell membranes and cell walls
Why does an onion not have a cytoplasm?
All cells have cytoplasm, so yes, onion cells do have cytoplasm.
Where is the red pigment of a red onion?
cell membrane
What happen to onion cell epidermis if placed in hypertonic solution?
If an onion cell epidermis is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell due to osmosis, causing the cell to shrink and the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall. This process is known as plasmolysis.
What happens to onion cells in freshwater?
they will disintegrate and soon the onion will peel and the onion part will BE NO MORE
Is the onion membrane 2 layers thick?
it is 7 layers
