Do the cells of the onion bulb possess chloroplasts?

Onions are the root bulbs of onion plants. The plant itself contains chloroplasts, which cause the green colour, whereas the onion bulb itself contains other pigments and few, if any, chloroplasts.


Why do onion cells do not have chloroplast?

Onion cells do not have chloroplasts because the onion is underground where there is no light. Without light chloroplasts have no purpose, so onion cells just don't have them.


Why the chloroplasts is not present in the onion cell?

You can't see chloroplasts in an onion skin cell since the onion was underground. When the onion is underground, the sun can't reach the onion so the onion skin cells can't make glucose. The onion does have chloroplasts in its cells at the top of the onion. That's where he sunlight can reach the onion.


Which part of a plant cell will you never find in a onion bulb?

As an onion cell is a cell, no cells are located in it, but maybe you mean organelles, which literally mean "tiny organs" and make up every cell. In that case, onion cells lack chloroplasts because they grow underground and therefore don't use the sun to produce energy (chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis).


Why dont onion cell have chloroplasts and chlorophyll?

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which help to make the food for the plant (glucose). First, chloroplasts are essential for the process of photosynthesis. You need to know that the onion bulb we refer to in daily life grows underground, which is not exposed to the sunlight, it only stores food for the plant. And you also need to know, the process of photosynthesis, requires lights. Because onion bulbs are underground, what is the use of having chloroplasts? The onion plants have green shoots where there are chloroplasts. You can simply tell that there is no chloroplast in onion bulbs because they are not green. Onion bulbs just basically shares a similar environment with root cells.You can check the images in Google and you actually see that onion cell does not have any chloroplasts.

Why are chloroplasts absent in onion epidermal cells and potato tubular cells?

Onion epidermal cells and potato tuber cells do not contain chloroplasts because they do not require photosynthesis for energy production. These cells mainly function in storage and support, so they do not need chloroplasts for the process of photosynthesis.


Do onions have chloroplasts in their cells?

The bulb of the onion does not but the leaves of the onion plant do.

What structure can be seen in Elodea leaf but not present in epidermal cells of onion cells?

Chloroplasts can be seen in Elodea leaf cells but not in the epidermal cells of onion cells. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells, containing chlorophyll that captures sunlight for energy production. Onion epidermal cells do not contain chloroplasts as they do not perform photosynthesis.

No


Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?

No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells


What plant organelle is missing from the onion cell?

The onion cell is missing chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in green plants. Onion cells do not contain chlorophyll, so they do not require chloroplasts for photosynthetic processes.


Why onion epidermal cell does not contain chloroplast?

chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which help to make the food for the plant (glucose). An onion is a bulb, it is food storage for the actual onion plant, it doesn't make its own food so doesn't need chloroplasts *Chloroplasts are used for photosynthesis (I) Hope it helps (Y)
