An onion is easy to peel to 1 layer of cells, and with a light microscope you cant see the individual cells in a leaf.

Also the cell obtained from the bulb of onion is colorless, hence it can be easly stained with different dyes to study the cell organells under the microscope.

How do you tell how much the onion cells are magnified?

An onion cell has a rectangular shape and its size can range in length from 0.25 to 0.4 millimeters. If you take a picture of the magnified onion cell and measure its diameter in millimeters then you can use simple maths to determine how much magnification is being applied.


Why cant you use methylene blue when staining onion cells?

Methylene blue is not suitable for staining onion cells because it does not effectively bind to the distinct cell structures present in onion cells, such as the cell walls and nuclei. Toluidine blue or safranin O are commonly used stains for onion cells as they provide better contrast and visibility of cell structures.


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 do you use iodine solution during the preparation of slide of onion peel?

Iodine solution is used to stain the cell contents in the prepared slide of onion peel. This helps highlight the cell structures and makes it easier to observe under a microscope, such as the nucleus and cytoplasm of the onion cells.

Why you use iodine in onion?

Iodine stains the onion so it is easier to see the cellular features, such as the nucleus, cell wall, and cytoplasm.
