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.
Process of Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis in plants occurs in two stages. These stages are known as the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle. Light-dependent Reactions. The first stage of photosynthesis is the light dependent reactions. These reactions take place on the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplast. During this stage light energy is converted to ATP (chemical energy) and NADPH (reducing power).
