How do you tell when an onion cells are dead or alive?

You can tell if an onion cell is alive by observing its turgidity and color. Live onion cells are turgid, meaning they are firm and full of water, giving them a healthy green color. Dead onion cells will appear shriveled, discolored, and lack turgidity. You can also perform a simple plasmolysis test to determine cell viability.
