Onion cells do not have chloroplasts because the onion is underground where there is no light. Without light chloroplasts have no purpose, so onion cells just don't have them.
Is a leek a stem or a root?
An onion, strictly speaking, is a 'bulb' and is a stem.
Why the chloroplasts is not present in the onion cell?
You can't see chloroplasts in an onion skin cell since the onion was underground. When the onion is underground, the sun can't reach the onion so the onion skin cells can't make glucose. The onion does have chloroplasts in its cells at the top of the onion. That's where he sunlight can reach the onion.
Does a onion cell contains a chloroplast?
Onion bulb does not have chloroplasts.Onion leaves have chloroplasts.
Why doesn't the onion bulb contain chloroplast?
Because onion bulb develops underground and it is meant for food storage to overcome adverse environmental conditions. The skin of the bulb need not loose water and take part in gaseous exchange. Therefore, it does not have guard cells and stomata.
