Onion cells, like most plant cells, have rigid cell walls which give them a regular shape. They are stacked tightly in columns and rows. Cheek cells have and irregularly shaped cell membrane. and are squished together in layers.

What is the difference between an onion cell and a cheek cell?

Cheek cells are only found in animals, whereas onion cells are found in platns, particularly onion cells. Cheek cells, being animal cells, do not contain a cell wall as onion cells do becasue cell walls are found only in plant cells for structure and rigidness. Onion cells, unlike most plant cells, do not have chlorplasts becasue it does not need sunlight for photosynthesis as other plants do. Being grown underground, it receives nutrients directly from the soil, so chloraplasts are not evident. This is also why onions are never green, since chloroplasts contain chlorpohyll, a pigment which gives plants its green color. Basically, cheek cells are found in animals, and onion cells are found in plants.


What is the outer boundary of a cheek cell called?

cell surface membrane cell surface membrane


Why is the nucleus of an onion cell found near the edge?

because Onion is a plant. Plant cells have a large vacuole in the centre of the cell which push the surrounding organelles and the nucleus towards the periphery. On the contrary, if you observe an animal cell you will find that the nucleus is situated right at the center because the vacuole is small comparatively and does not occupy a large space at the center.

What is jaw line?

Jaw line- The lower edge of the side of the face (below the cheek); defined by the jawbone.


Where is the cell wall located on the cell?

the cell wall is located on the outer edge of the cell


Where is the membrane in a cell?

around the edge


What is the outer edge of an animal cell called?

The outside layer of the animal cell is the cell membrane.


Why does onion fry quicker around the outer edge?

I think that the minced onions fry quicker around the outer circumference than in the middle because - in addition to the heat from the bottom of the pan the sides of the pan radiate additional heat as well. Therefore the onion around the edge fries quicker.
