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.
The organelles where photosynthesis occurs are called Chloroplasts. Occuring only in plants, chloroplasts are small vesicle-like organelles that contain sacs of the pigment Ch â¦ lorophyll. These sacs absorb sunlight to initiate the chemical reaction photosynthesis. 3 people found this useful.
