Re: PROKARYOTE VS EUKARYOTE PHOTOSYNTHESIS... are different in both. For example when we see the higher plants which are an example of eukaryotic cells, the chloroplasts present mainly in the mesophyll tissues in the leaves. Each cell of mesophyll has 20-100 chloroplasts. Chloroplast has double membrane envelops that encloses a dense fluid ...
