They both have nucleoli you have to dye them both and of course they are both living cells but not the same kind. Both have cell membranes and are eukaryotic cells.

What cell parts did you find in the onion cell but not in the cheek cells?

The onion cells are much more rectangle shaped, than the cheek cells and the nucleus in the onion cell is much more bigger and better seen in the microscope.


Why are onion cells different to cheek cell?

because they are


What does onion skin cells have that cheek cells don't?

A cell wall.


What are the differences in onion cells cheek cells and amoeba cells?

Onion cells are plant cells, cheek cells are human cells and amoebas split? (i'm smart as well as beautiful, I also managed to keep my airhead image by putting a ? at the end, *giggles flirtily*)


What cell structure gave the onion skin cells a more rigid shape than your cheek cells?

The cell wall in the onion skin cells gives them a more rigid shape compared to cheek cells, which lack a cell wall and instead have a flexible cell membrane. The cell wall provides structural support and protection for the cell, helping maintain its shape.


What is bigger cheek cells or onion cells?

Cheek cells are typically larger than onion cells. Cheek cells are human epithelial cells that make up the inside lining of the mouth, while onion cells are plant cells found in the epidermis of onion bulbs. Cheek cells are usually around 30-40 micrometers in size, while onion cells are generally smaller at around 0.1-0.2 millimeters.


Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?

No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells


How does the edge of the cheek cell compare with the edge of the onion cell?

The edge of a cheek cell is irregular and jagged, while the edge of an onion cell is more uniform and rectangular. Additionally, the cheek cell has a softer and more flexible edge due to the absence of a cell wall, whereas the onion cell has a rigid cell wall that gives it a structured shape.


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.


Describe how the onion and cheek cell were similar in observed parts what parts did they have common?

Describe how the onion and cheek cell were similar in observed parts what parts did they have common? Well they are similar because they both have a nucleus and cytoplasm. They are different because in an onion cell there is a cell wall, doesnt have chlorplast, and it is a plant. For a cheek cell it has a cell membrane, doesnt have a cell wall, and is an animal.


Which of the 2 cells cheek or onion cells have a regular arrangement and structure?

Between the 2 cells that are cheek and onion cells, the one that has a regular arrangement and structure are onion cells. Cheek cells have an irregular shape.


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

Well, one is a cell from a plant and another is from an animal, so they're very different. Onion cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole and plants-only organelles like chloroplast. Cheek cells lack cell walls, has a significantly greater amount of mitochondria and has lysosomes while plant cells very rarely have any lysosomes.
