Question

Which is useful for the study of a typical plant cell?

• A. Onion peel
• B. Onion leaves
• C. Onion root
• D. Onion fruit

Answer 1

The correct option is A Onion peel

An onion is a multicellular (consisting of many cells) plant organism. As in all plant cells, the cell of an onion peel has all the key characteristics of the plant cells such as cell wall, nucleus towards the plasma membrane, prominent and large centrally located vacuole. The presence of a cell wall and a large vacuole are indicators that help identify plant cells, such as seen in the onion peel.

So, the correct answer is option A.
