because onion cells don't need chloroplast as Onions are considered root crops! Chloroplast is use by plants to manufacture its food through the aid of sunlight. so, truly this explains how Mighty is the Creator God!
Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Onion bulbs grow underground where there is no light. Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis which requires light. No reason for onion bulbs to have chloroplasts. However, onion leaf cells do have chloroplasts.
These lab questions look familiar.
