No, heat energy depends on the amount of substance. You have asked a very good question that confuses many. Heat energy is different from temperature.

If the temperature of Lake Michigan is 60 degrees, I can take a

shot-glass of water out of the lake and carry it over to my car, and the temperature of the water in the shot glass is still 60 degrees.

However, there is an enormously vastly larger amount more heat energy in Lake Michigan than the shot glass. One could heat up the shot glass with the heat energy from a candle in a minute, but it would take trillions of candles to heat Lake Michigan the same temperature difference in that minute.
