If you're talking about biological viruses, they dont actually need energy as they are mostly proteins and are inactive most of the time and become active only when they reach a host like a bacterium or any other cell. Its pure thermodynamics on how the virus attaches itself and injects DNA/RNA into the host. So there is no need for energy

Do medical viruses use energy?
yes medical viruses does use energy
Do viruses use energy?
yes
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 use energy in the form of ATP?
Viruses use energy in the form of ATP to function. All living things will need ATP so as to function in a normal manner.
Can viruses use energy in form of ATP?
Viruses use energy in the form of ATP to function. All living things will need ATP so as to function in a normal manner.
Do viruses have energy use?
They rely on the energy and materials of their host's cells for replication, otherwise they do not "use" energy since they are a non-living organism.
Do we classify viruses as living creatures?
Viruses do reproduce. They use energy and produce waste. They are considered living organisms, yes.
Do viruses get and use materials and energy?
yes and they obtain the materials of their host cell
How are viruses similar to living organisms and how are they different?
Viruses are similar to living organisms because both contain hereditary material (RNA or DNA), and both reproduce. Viruses are different from living organisms because they do not use energy to grow, and do not use energy to respond to their surroundings.
What are three ways that viruses are different from cells?
Viruses are nonliving and cannot make their own food, and do not use their own energy to grow.
What three ways are viruses different from cells?
Viruses are non~living, plants are. Viruses do not make their own food, plants do. Viruses don't use their own energy to grow, plants, once again, do.
How do scientists classify viruses?
scientist classify viruses as dead this is because they are not made of cells, they cannot use energy, and they cannot make proteins
