When a virus obtains energy, it comes from the host cell. A virus requires the host cell to reproduce and uses the energy from that host.

How do viruses obtain carbohydrates?

Viruses do not have the machinery to produce their own carbohydrates. Instead, they rely on the host cells they infect to supply the necessary carbohydrates for their replication and survival. Viruses can hijack the host cell's metabolic pathways to obtain carbohydrates for their own use.


Do virus obtain and use energy?

Viruses do not have the cellular machinery to generate their own energy. Instead, they rely on the host cells they infect to provide the necessary energy and resources for their replication. Once inside a host cell, viruses hijack the cell's machinery to reproduce and create new viral particles.

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

How does a virus use and obtain and use energy?

Viruses do not have the ability to produce energy on their own as they lack cellular machinery. Instead, they rely on hijacking the host cell's metabolic processes for energy production by utilizing the host cell's resources and machinery to replicate and spread.
