Neither is "greater". Laptop RAM is generally provided in a smaller package, called SODIMM, while desktop RAM is generally provided in a larger, cheaper package called DIMM. For the most part, any memory you can get for a desktop you can also get, more expensively but otherwise effectively identical, for a laptop.

Pretty much anything in any computer is interchangeable. You can get a better battery (such as one with a greater charge), so long as it is designed for a particular laptop. Another part commonly replaced is the RAM (memory). For example, if you have a laptop with 1 GB of RAM, you can replace it with 2 GB of RAM designed to the same specifications. Even hard drives, fans/heatsinks, and monitors are replaced if they become damaged.

Where is the ram accesed?

RAM (or Random Access Memory) is how much memory you have on your computer and/or laptop. You would have to delete some things that you don't need to bring it down, or consult with a professional or someone knowledgeable to see if you should get more RAM. You can view your RAM by going to your Control Panel, opening "System Tools", then open "System Information" and look for "Total Physical Memory" and "Available Physical Memory." Viewing your RAM, however, may vary with your computer and/or laptop. If it does, you may need to look around or call someone knowledgeable on that specific computer and/or laptop.
