Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells compartmentalize various metabolic processes inside membrane-bound organelles. For example, the breakdown of certain food molecules to provide energy takes place in the mitochondrion, and photosynthesis takes place in a chloroplast. Compartmentalization of metabolic processes makes eukaryotic cells very efficient and allows them to increase in size.
Chloroplast Reactions. Photosynthesis takes place inside of the chloroplast. To be more specific, the light reactions take place on the surface of the thylakoid membranes, and the dark reaction takes place in the stroma fluid. Note: the light reaction does not take place inside of the thylakoid, only on its surface.
