Prokaryotes do not perform photosynthesis. They are organisms that lack a cell nucleus, they don't even have chloroplast, to perform it. Plants, which are eukaryotes, photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast.

Why does photosynthesis occur in eukaryotic cells?
In order for photosynthesis to occur, the organelle chloroplast is needed. Eukaryotic cells (typically plants) do contain chloroplasts which the plant can use to make food. However, there are several prokaryotic organisms such as the purple bacteria that contains a different kind of chlorophyll and can photosynthesize.
What type of cells does binary fission occur in?
An organism that can undergo binary fission would be a plan ol prokaryotic cell or a protozoan if you want something specific.
What process does not occur in animal cells?
The process of osmosis and photosynthesis are not performed by animal cells.
In what organelle does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.
Mitochondria prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells. Biochemical processes, such as respiration and energy production, occur in the mitochondria.
Is photosynthesis present in prokaryotic cells?
Yes,cyno bacteria.
Where does The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells.?
The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.

However, there are several prokaryotic organisms such as the purple bacteria that contains a different kind of chlorophyll and can photosynthesize.
Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?
Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.
Where does duplication of chromosomes occur?
Inside the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. In the cytoplasm in prokaryotic cells.
Is blue-green algae a seaweed?
No it's a Cyanobacteria, prokaryotic cells capable of photosynthesis.
What type of cells does binary fission occur in?
An organism that can undergo binary fission would be a plan ol prokaryotic cell or a protozoan if you want something specific.
What process does not occur in animal cells?
The process of osmosis and photosynthesis are not performed by animal cells.
Where in leaves does photosynthesis occur?
In leaves, photosynthesis occurs usually in chloroplasts of mesophyll cells.
What cell does photosynthesis occur in?
enoplasmic reticulum
In what organelle does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.
Mitochondria prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells. Biochemical processes, such as respiration and energy production, occur in the mitochondria.
