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
yes medical viruses does use energy
yes
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.
Viruses use energy in the form of ATP to function. All living things will need ATP so as to function in a normal manner.

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.
Viruses do reproduce. They use energy and produce waste. They are considered living organisms, yes.
yes and they obtain the materials of their host cell
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.
Viruses are nonliving and cannot make their own food, and do not use their own energy to grow.
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.
scientist classify viruses as dead this is because they are not made of cells, they cannot use energy, and they cannot make proteins
