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.
What else can I help you with?
What parts of the onion cells?
Those that you can see under the microscope are the cell wall, nucleus, nucleolus, and cytoplasm.
Parts of an onion skin cell that you can not see?
the chloroplast
What effect did staining the onion cells have on their appearance under the microscope?
Staining the onion cells allowed for better visualization of the cell structures. It added color to the cells, making them more distinct and easier to observe under the microscope. This made it easier to identify the different parts of the cells, such as the nucleus and cell wall.
What is somthing you can see with a microsope?
You can see anything small with it that you can't see with the human eye
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.
What happens when an onion membrane is put into a vinegar solution?
it turns purple and under a microscope you can see swirlys
What cell parts are visible in onion root cells?
Those that you can see under the microscope are the cell wall, nucleus, nucleolus, and cytoplasm.
What details can be observed when an onion slide is placed under a microscope?
When an onion slide is placed under a microscope, you can observe the cell structure, cell walls, cell membranes, and possibly the nucleus of the onion cells. The cells will appear as small, rectangular shapes with distinct boundaries. Additionally, you may see any organelles present within the cells.
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.
Does an onion bulb have an apical bud?
Yes, An onion bulb does have an apical bud.If you cut an onion in half, you will see it in the center of the bulb
What does a mircoscope does?
A microscope magnifies whatever you place under it. For example, it can be used to look at the cell structure of onion skin because it magnifies the onion so that you can see it better, to the naked eye, looking at it doesn't give many answers.
Why would you not find a chloroplast in a onion root cell?
the reason you wouldn't see chloroplasts is because the onion root tip is underground where light can not reach and why would it need chloroplasts if it didn't need to produce energy form light?
