Students are examining cells from a certain organism under a microscope. They notice mitochondria, a nucleus, chloroplasts, and ribosomes in each cell. What type of cells are they viewing and how do you know?(1 point) Responses Prokaryotic cells due to the observation of mitochondria Prokaryotic cells due to the observation of mitochondria Animal cells due to the observation of ribosomes Animal cells due to the observation of ribosomes Plant cells due to the observation of mitochondria Plant cells due to the observation of mitochondria Plant cells due to the observation of chloroplasts

The students are viewing plant cells due to the observation of chloroplasts.

Chloroplasts are organelles found specifically in plant cells (and some algae), allowing them to perform photosynthesis. The presence of mitochondria and ribosomes is common to both plant and animal cells, but the defining feature here that indicates the cells are plant cells is the presence of chloroplasts.
