Because of the cell wall, it seems as he's stalking a plant cell, a mushroom or a bacteria/archae. Only those cells do have cell walls.  The quite large amount of ribosomes, as described, might be a significant structure for plants, cause they cover chloroplasts (containing ribosomes) and mitochondria (also containing ribosomes). Because bacteria don't contain any mitochondria, it might be plausible, that it's a plant cell (If the total amount of ribosomes is meant)
