Can viruses produce their own energy?
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
