The onion is a part of the root, which is usually underground. Thus, it has no need for chloroplasts to photosynthesize.
Potato cells have larger, more angular shape and contain starch granules, while onion cells are smaller and have a more rectangular shape with a distinct cell wall. Additionally, potato cells lack the characteristic onion cell layers seen in onion cells.
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.
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.
No, you cannot observe chloroplasts in onion cells because onion cells do not contain chloroplasts. Onions belong to a group of plants known as monocots, which typically lack chloroplasts in their cells. Chloroplasts are mostly found in the cells of green plants that undergo photosynthesis.
because it is only found in green parts of plants
All plant cells contain chloroplasts, the amount present depends on the function of the cell. for example leaves will contain loads of chloroplast, hence why they are green. The cells of an onion will still contain chloroplasts but only a few in comparison to the amount in a cell situated in the leaf. This is because onions are underground and aren't the primary site for photosynthesis.
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. Because an onion develops in the ground, and chloroplasts develop in the sunlight. Therefore no chloroplasts form.
Potato cells have larger, more angular shape and contain starch granules, while onion cells are smaller and have a more rectangular shape with a distinct cell wall. Additionally, potato cells lack the characteristic onion cell layers seen in onion cells.
No, the nuclei in onion cells are generally larger than the chloroplasts. Nuclei are the control center of the cell and contain genetic material, while chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis.

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.
Onion leaves have chloroplast but not the vegetable(bulb)....
The main function of the onion skin cell is to protect the rest of the onion
