The structure that is seen is the cell wall. This keeps the shape of the cell and is only found in plant cells. The organelles that can be see in a stained onion cells all depends on your microscope. Under a x400 light microscope we could see the cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm,
Onion cells were stained with iodine because they contain starch, which reacts with iodine to produce a blue-black color, allowing for better visualization of the cells. In contrast, rhubarb cells do not contain significant amounts of starch, so staining with iodine would not yield a noticeable color change, making it unnecessary for observation. Thus, iodine staining is used selectively based on the presence of starch in the cells being examined.
The difference between potato cells and onion cells, check cells, and lettuce cells is the presence of starch in the potato cells chloroplast organelles. The difference between cheek cells and the rest is easier the cheek cells do not have chloroplasts at all.
Onion flower buds are commonly used to study meiosis because they provide a clear and accessible system for observing cellular division. The cells in the onion root tip undergo rapid division, with many cells at various stages of meiosis, making it easier to visualize and identify key phases. Additionally, the large chromosomes of onions can be easily stained and magnified, allowing for detailed observation of chromosomal behavior during meiosis. This combination of factors makes onion flower buds an ideal model for educational and research purposes in understanding meiosis.
Iodine is often used to stain onion cells to make the cell structures more visible under a microscope. The iodine solution will stain specific cell components such as the cell walls and starch grains, allowing for easier observation and analysis of the cells.
Only you know that because you did the experiment not us.
Oh, dude, when you stain an onion cell, it's like giving it a little makeover - you can actually see the details more clearly under a microscope because the stain highlights different structures. Unstained cells are just chilling in their natural state, not trying to impress anyone with their flashy colors. So yeah, staining basically just helps you spot the cool stuff inside the cell easier.
You can see the parts of an onion under a microscope because onion cells are relatively large and have distinct cell structures, such as the cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm. The onion's transparent cell walls allow light to pass through, making it easier to observe the details. Additionally, when stained, the cells become more visible, highlighting various components under the microscope. This combination of size, transparency, and staining makes onion cells ideal for microscopic examination.

Staining the onion cells allowed for better visualization of the cell structures. It added color to the cells, making them more distinct and easier to observe under the microscope. This made it easier to identify the different parts of the cells, such as the nucleus and cell wall.
The sweet onion is milder and easier to digest.
we were able to see the different organells of the cells including cell wall ,plasma membarane,nucleous,cytoplasm mitochondria ,vacoules etc since we viewd from an electo microscope
All organisms are made of cells. An onion is and organism, hence all parts of an onion are made of cells.
Iodine is often used to stain onion cells to make the cell structures more visible under a microscope. The iodine solution will stain specific cell components such as the cell walls and starch grains, allowing for easier observation and analysis of the cells.
Cells are stained with iodine solution to visualize the presence of starch. Iodine reacts with starch to form a bluish-black complex, making it easier to visualize and distinguish starch-containing structures within the cell, such as amyloplasts or starch granules.
