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.

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.


If the animal cell had chloroplast it would still have it same color?

No, the presence of chloroplasts in an animal cell would not affect its color because chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts and do not perform photosynthesis.


Why do onion cells look so different than human cheek cells?

Onion cells are plant cells, so they have a cell wall and more angular shape (but no chloroplasts, like some plant cells, since they are not part of the photosynthesizing part of the onion plant) Human cheek cells are animal cells, so the biggest difference is that they have no cell wall and thus a rounder shape.


What are two features that plants cells have that animal cells do not?

plant cells have chlorophyll that i think a cell wall but chlorophyll is the main reason that they are greenRead more: What_does_a_plant_cell_have_that_a_animal_cell_does_not_have

Why do plant cells have chloroplasts and a rigid cell wall and animals cells dont?

The chloroplasts make the plant stem green.


What is difference between onions peel and human cheek cell?

Onion peel cells are plant cells that have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose and may contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis. Human cheek cells are animal cells that lack a cell wall, have a flexible cell membrane, and contain a nucleus. Additionally, human cheek cells are eukaryotic, while onion peel cells are prokaryotic.
