I have a question! Does a skin of an onion cell have chloroplast? If not why?

Answer 1

When you take the onion skin sample from an onion bulb, you are sampling the part of the onion that grows underground. Any plant part that grows underground cannot carry on photosynthesis, so those parts have no chloroplasts.

Cells in the green leaves of an onion have chloroplasts.

Answer 2

na it cant

i did a lab and i know it does have cells, square plant cells but it does not have chloroplast beacuse:
it is not green, it does not go though photosynthesis

here read this

Light is needed for the development of chloroplasts. There are many types
of plastids found in plant cells but, not all plant cells have all the
different types of plastids. Some plastids can contain pigments other
than chlorophyll and are called chromoplasts and plastids that store
starch are amyloplasts. It is thought that all plastids arise from a pro-
plastids. Since onion bulbs are below ground they do not get the light
necessary for chloroplast development. There are lots of web sites
available that have information on this subject. Try a google search
using the words "chloroplasts and onions" or "onion chloroplasts". If you
are interested in learning more about cells, onions are a good
experimental organism. Onion root tips are great to study mitosis and
meiosis and the thin membranous epidermis between the onion rings are
perfect for observing plasmolysis. Good luck with your studies.
