What is the metabolic difference between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells?
Green plants in eukaryotes can carry out photosynthesis, are autotrophs and belong to producers in the ecosystem. Both fungi and animals in eukaryotes are heterotrophs, and they belong to consumers or decomposers in the ecosystem.

Only a few kinds of prokaryotes can synthesize organic matter by themselves, such as cyanobacteria, nitrifying bacteria and photosynthetic bacteria. These prokaryotes are autotrophs and belong to producers in the ecosystem. Most prokaryotes are heterotrophic and belong to consumers or decomposers.
