Answer:

No they cannot

Step-by-step explanation:

Fungi, which are also heterotrophs as well as other heterotrophic organisms cannot produce their own energy for their own function because they do no make their own food. That is they do not have chloroplasts and therefore obtain energy from autotrophs ( organisms that make their own food for energy)
