No, you cannot observe chloroplasts in onion cells because onion cells do not contain chloroplasts. Onions belong to a group of plants known as monocots, which typically lack chloroplasts in their cells. Chloroplasts are mostly found in the cells of green plants that undergo photosynthesis.
A plant cell. The presence of a cell wall and chloroplasts is a characteristic feature of plant cells. Cell walls provide structural support while chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis.
Someone may confuse a protist with a plant due to their similar appearance under a microscope, such as having chloroplasts for photosynthesis. However, protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that don't fit neatly into plant, animal, or fungi classifications, while plants are multicellular, autotrophic organisms belonging to the Plantae kingdom.
The student was most likely describing a plant cell. Plant cells typically have a cell wall, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and a distinctive rectangular shape.
The student's observation was not correct: fungi have no chloroplasts, plants do.
You can see chloroplasts and a nucleus under a light microscope.

Chloroplasts are very small and transparent structures within plant cells, making them difficult to observe under a light microscope without staining. Additionally, they are easily disrupted during the preparation process for microscopy. Special techniques, such as electron microscopy, are often needed to visualize chloroplasts with detail.

chloroplasts. If you cut the leaf in half and look at it under a microscope, you will see some cells with green dots on them. these are the chloroplasts.

Onion epidermal cells and potato tuber cells do not contain chloroplasts because they do not require photosynthesis for energy production. These cells mainly function in storage and support, so they do not need chloroplasts for the process of photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts in elodea cells move in response to changes in light intensity to optimize photosynthesis. This movement helps position the chloroplasts for maximum light absorption, improving the plant's ability to produce energy.
You can infer the basic structure and characteristics of the organism, such as shape, size, presence of organelles, and possibly its function (e.g., plant cell with chloroplasts for photosynthesis). Further tests would be needed for a more detailed identification.
