Because onion bulb develops underground and it is meant for food storage to overcome adverse environmental conditions. The skin of the bulb need not loose water and take part in gaseous exchange. Therefore, it does not have guard cells and stomata.
Onion bulb does not have chloroplasts.Onion leaves have chloroplasts.
Chloroplast is found in parts of plants exposed to sunlight, where it is used in photosynthesis. Onion bulbs are not normally exposed to sunlight, so there is no need for chloroplasts in the bulb.
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.
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.
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.
Onion leaves have chloroplast but not the vegetable(bulb)....
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.

The bulb of an onion is formed from modified leaves. While photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of an onion containing chloroplast, the little glucose that is produced from this process is converted in to starch (starch granules) and stored in the bulb.
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.
Yes, An onion bulb does have an apical bud.If you cut an onion in half, you will see it in the center of the bulb

An onion, strictly speaking, is a 'bulb' and is a stem.
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.
