Question

How are tomato pulp cells similar and different to onion cells? Please help!!

Answer 1

The onion is a "root" sort of, but the tomato is a fruit. The friut is not responsible for production of sugars from the sun. Its main job is to carry seeds.  

The onion cells will grow into the onion plant. It's layers are actually going to be the green parts/"leaves" of the onion. The leaves are supposed to make sugars from sunlight with chloroplasts. Therefore it must have them.

 Chloroplasts are found in those plant tissues which undergo photosynthesis - doesn't occur in tomatoes

Hope this helped!

Good luck :p
