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.
Best Answer: photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts (only in plants) Cellular respiration has 3 different steps : 1. glycolysis : takes place in the cytoplasm. 2. Kreb's Cycle/ citric-acid cycle : takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria. 3. Electron Transport Chain paired with oxidative phosphorylation : takes place in critae.
