AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that heat and internal energy are the same thing?
No. Heat and internal energy are not the same thing; heat is energy in transit between systems due to a temperature difference, whereas internal energy is a state function representing the energy contained within a system.
