Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cells have a definite, rigid, rectangular shape, which is characteristic of plant cells. They also contain a nucleus, which is a characteristic feature of eukaryotic cells. The presence of oval-shaped green structures moving around inside the cells is indicative of chloroplasts, which are organelles found only in plant cells. Therefore, the most likely cell type being observed is eukaryotic and plant.
