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.

Photosynthesis takes place in the cell's chloroplast in two stages: the light stage and the dark stage. Each stage occurs in a different part of the chloroplast. In the light stage of photosynthesis, the chloroplast absorbs the light of the sun. This sets off a series of chemical reactions, beginning by converting the sunlight to chemical energy. According to About.com, three types of energy are produced: ATP, NADPH and oxygen, all of which are used in the dark stage of photosynthesis.
