What is the main difference between the metabolism of most plants and the same process

What is the main difference between the metabolism of most plants and the same process in the organisms of fungi, animals and many bacteria?

Plant metabolism is directly dependent on temperature, season and time of day. So in the absence of light, it slows down many times. And especially with the onset of autumn and winter. In living organisms, external changes do not have a similar effect on metabolic processes. True, there are several types of lizards and snails that freeze in winter and their body becomes human. But they are the exception to the general rule.
