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 difference between onions peel and human cheek cell?

Onion peel cells are plant cells that have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose and may contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Human cheek cells are animal cells that lack a cell wall, have a flexible cell membrane, and contain a nucleus. Additionally, human cheek cells are eukaryotic, while onion peel cells are prokaryotic.


What are the differences in cell organelles between onion cells potato cells cheek cells and lettuce cells?

The difference between potato cells and onion cells, check cells, and lettuce cells is the presence of starch in the potato cells chloroplast organelles. The difference between cheek cells and the rest is easier the cheek cells do not have chloroplasts at all.


What are the Characteristics of cheek cells leaf cells and onion cells?

Cheek cells are flat, irregularly shaped, and have a nucleus. Leaf cells contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis and have a defined cell wall. Onion cells have a distinct rectangular shape, lack chloroplasts, and contain a large central vacuole.


What structures were you able to see in both in both types of cells for cheek and onion cells?

In both cheek and onion cells, you can observe the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The cell membrane encloses the cell's contents, while the cytoplasm is the gel-like substance where cellular processes occur. Additionally, the nucleus, which contains genetic material, is a prominent feature in both types of cells. However, cheek cells are generally more irregular in shape, while onion cells are typically more rectangular.

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.


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

A cell wall.


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.


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

The Onion cell and cheek cell both had cytoplasm, nucleuses, and cell membranes under 400x Magnification


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.


Why was it necessary to stain the onion and the cheek cells?

So you can see different components of the cell. Like the nucleus.


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.


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.


Why do onion cells look so different than human cheek cells?

Onion cells are plant cells, so they have a cell wall and more angular shape (but no chloroplasts, like some plant cells, since they are not part of the photosynthesizing part of the onion plant) Human cheek cells are animal cells, so the biggest difference is that they have no cell wall and thus a rounder 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.
