The root of an onion does not have chloroplasts because it primarily functions in nutrient and water absorption rather than photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are specialized organelles found in green plant tissues, such as leaves, where photosynthesis occurs. Since roots grow underground and are not exposed to light, they do not require chloroplasts for capturing light energy. Instead, they focus on anchoring the plant and facilitating nutrient uptake from the soil.
What else can I help you with?
Why would you not find a chloroplast in a onion root cell?
the reason you wouldn't see chloroplasts is because the onion root tip is underground where light can not reach and why would it need chloroplasts if it didn't need to produce energy form light?
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.
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells
Why don't onion cells contain the function of a chloroplast?
Onion cells do not contain chloroplasts because onions are not photosynthetic organisms. Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells that require photosynthesis to produce energy for the cell. Onions obtain their energy through other metabolic processes and do not need chloroplasts for this purpose.
What 2 plant cells don't have chloroplasts?
onion cells dont contain chloroplasts as they are underground so cant photosynthesise

Why do onions have gucose not starch?
because it is technically a Leaf! its chloroplasts are white because it is underground..its roots are under the onion! the onion is NOT a root, so no starch only the monosaccharide glucose from the chloroplasts.
Why do you see chloroplasts in the Elodea cell but not the onion cell?
Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont needchloroplasts, so they dont have them.
Are chloroplasts visible in onion and cheek cells?
No chloroplasts in cheek and onion cells

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.
Where are the chloroplasts in the onion cells?
There are no chloroplasts in bulb.Thats because they do not get sunlight.
Why onion cells do not contain chloroplast?
Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form. Think of it this way: Tree leaves contain chloroplasts because they contain chlorophyll in order for the leaves to turn colors. But who has ever heard of an onion changing colors because it's fall?! Onions dont need chloroplasts, so they dont have them.
Do onions have chloroplasts in their cells?
The bulb of the onion does not but the leaves of the onion plant do.
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.
