Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is what makes plants green. Onions are not green because they do not contain chloroplasts. The reason they do not have chloroplasts is because in the chloroplast, photosynthesis takes place. A key player in the process of photosynthesis is the sun. The onion itself grows underground which means while they grow they do not come into contact with the sun so chloroplasts in an onion is pointless since they can’t undergo photosynthesis. Hope I helped!
Can you elaborate on that please?
2) The concentration of O2 will increase inside the cell.
The cell will want to reach equilibrium, meaning that there should be an equal number of oxygen inside and outside the cell. In the picture, more oxygen is shown outside the cell than inside so oxygen will flow into the cell until it has reached equilibrium. Therefore, the concentration of O2 will increase in the cell.
Hope this helps!!
Photosynthesis takes place faster in a white light.
