The students are viewing plant cells due to the observation of chloroplasts.
This conclusion is based on the presence of chloroplasts, which are unique to plant cells and some algae, as they are involved in photosynthesis. While the cells also contain mitochondria and ribosomes, the definitive feature that indicates they are plant cells is the presence of chloroplasts.
