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.
Fermentation takes place in the cell's cytoplasm. In prokaryotic cells, all metabolic processes take place in the cytoplasm; in eukaryotic cells, only fermentation takes place in the cytoplasm. Other forms of respiration in eukaryotes take place in the mitochondria. Continue Reading. In eukaryotic cells, fermentation generally occurs in the absence of oxygen.
