Today I just did a lab viewing elodea cells and human cheek cells. When I viewed the Elodea cells on the highest power, I saw chloroplasts moving. They looked like tiny green spheres moving in little groups of two or more on a set of "tracks". I hope this answers the question.

What cell has chloroplasts onion cell or elodea cell?

Both. Both cells are plant cells and plant cells have chloroplasts. (Elodea is the waterweeds)


Do elodea cells have chloroplasts?

yes


Are chloroplasts present in elodea oblong cells?

Yes, chloroplasts are present in Elodea oblonga cells. Elodea is a type of aquatic plant that contains chloroplasts in its cells to facilitate photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Chloroplasts are responsible for producing energy-rich molecules that help the plant grow and survive.


Does elodea cell have chloroplast?

Yes, elodea cells have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, including those of the elodea plant. The green color of elodea leaves is due to the presence of chlorophyll in the chloroplasts.


How do human epithelial cells and elodea cells different?

First of all elodea cells are plant cells while epithelial cells are animal. Which means elodea has: a cell wall, chloroplasts, and are square shaped. Animal Cells: round, don't have cell walls just a membrane, and because they are heterotrophic they don't have chloroplasts.


Onion cells and elodea cells structure differences?

An ELODEA cell is a PLANT cell. A HUMAN EPIDERMAIL cell is an ANIMAL cell. if you know that plant cells and animal cells have different organelles, then you should be good to go.


What structure is found in elodea and not in potato and union cells?

The structure found in Elodea cells but not in potato and onion cells is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, which is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy to produce glucose. In Elodea, chloroplasts are abundant due to its aquatic environment, whereas in potato and onion cells, chloroplasts are less prevalent.


Why were the chloroplasts moving in the elodea cells?

When looking at the elodea under the microscope notice the chloroplasts appear to be only along sides of the cell. This due to the large, fluid filled, membrane bounded central vacuole which pushes the cytoplasm against the cell walls.


Do Elodea cell have cytoplasm?

yes elodea cells do. They use it to move.


Where are the chloroplasts located within the elodea cell?

up my asss


Why do you need to stain the elodea cell?

to see the nucleus and watch the chloroplasts move to the center


Do onions have choroplasts do elodea plants carry out photosynthesis?

Just did this lab in Biology. Onion cells do not have chloroplasts; therefore, they do not possess the green pigment, chlorophyll, that chloroplasts produce. Elodea plants do carry out photosynthesis.
