Energy cannot be produced, it can only be changed, obtained, or lost. Viruses are not considered living organisms. They are merely a sophisticated chemical compound that only replicate themselves by hacking into a particular host cell. When a new virus is created, energy is stored as chemical energy in the virus. A virus will only have chemical energy. Viruses do not have a control center or brain, so it doesn't use or obtain energy purposely.
No, they cannot; they are totally reliant upon the host cell for all of their biochemical (including maintenance and reproduction) functions. NO,when it enters a living cell it gets energy to act

Two that produce the most energy?
The organisms that produce the most energy are plants. These organisms are autotrophs which means they can produce their own energy from the Sun.
Can a wind produce energy on its own?
Wind energy can provide all the energy that we need
What during this process plants use light energy to produce food?
"Photosynthesis" is the process that plants use to utilize energy to produce their own food.
What is the plant this to produce their own food and energy?
.. all plant make their own food... the process in photosynithesis
Do viruses produce proteins?
Viruses hijack the cell and use the cell's machinery to produce proteins.
What is an organism that can not make its own food?
A heterotroph is an organism that can not produce its own food. An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food.

Can a virus release and use energy?
Virus particles have no metabolism and does not use energy. However, some viruses have kinetic energy stored in the high pressure inside them, this energy is released when they squirt their genome into the host cell. When they hijack the cell to make more viruses the cell will use energy to produce new viruses.
Can viruses make their own food from carbon dioxide water and light energy?
no
Can a wind produce energy on its own?
Wind energy can provide all the energy that we need
What is an organism that produce its own energy?
We call these autotrophs.
What organisms can produce there own energy?
None, actually.
Can produce their own energy?
Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food, if that is what you mean by energy. For example, humans are heterotrophs. Autotrophs, however, can produce their own food (like plants, algae, etc). Both heterotrophs and autotrophs need energy to survive, they just use it in different ways.

Does virus makes the cell it is in produce more viruses?
Yes, viruses use the cell that it has invaded to produce more viruses.
Name two features that distinguish viruses from bacteria?
All bacteria use their own ribosomes for protein synthesis while all viruses have to use their hosts' ribosomes. All bacteria have their own energy generation mechanisms (cellular respiration or photosynthesis) while all viruses have no intrinsic energy generation mechanisms.
How does an organism get energy?
autotrophs produce their own energy while heterotrophs get energy by eating other organisms.
