Are prokaryotes mostly heterotrophic?

In spite of their relatively simple structure, prokaryotic cells have much greater metabolic diversity than eukaryotic cells. Although most prokaryotes are heterotrophs, some are autotrophs. Autotrophs can manufacture their own food (organic molecules) from inorganic substances, while heterotrophs cannot. Most autotrophic bacteria are photosynthetic (they use light energy to manufacture organic molecules) but some are chemosynthetic (they use energy from inorganic chemicals to manufacture organic molecules.)
