No, viruses are approximately 100-1000 times smaller than a mitrochondrion (which is roughly the size of a bacterium). Viruses are dependent upon the host cell for any necessary energy requirements.

Mitochondria are double membrane bounded structure found only in eukaryotes.
As viruses are acellular (those substances whose bodies are not made up of cells) mitochondria are not present in them.

∙ 15y agoNo. Virus is not alive, so it does not need to make ATP in order to move around. The only way they move is by going with the flow (i.e. blood vessels, lymph vessels, air current).
Also, the virus is way too small to even contain a mitochondria. Mitochondria is about as big as some bacteria, while a virus is hundreds of times smaller than a bacteria.

∙ 15y agoFrom a biological standpoint, viruses are not considered living organisms. This is because they are obligate parasites. They depend completely on the host in order to survive and replicate. This is the reason why they do not need an energy generating organelle like the mitochondria. Viruses work by hijacking the protein machinery of the host cell. They derive their energy from the host.

Do viruses have a mitocondria?
No- viruses are acellular, which means that they are not made up of groups of cells, and thus do not have mitochondria present in them.
What way is viruses not classified?
Bacteria are not classified by the number of chromosomes, or the type of mitochondria.
Which organisms do NOT depend on mitochondria to survive?
All living organisms except procayotes require mitochondria to survive. Viruses are not living and they do not have any organelles.
Is a mitochondria living or nonliving?
There is no yes or no answer to this question, it is the same with the question on whether or not viruses are alive. It is worth mentioning though, that mitochondria are able to respire unlike viruses. They share a few characteristics with living organisms. Mitochondria poses their own DNA, they reproduce and respire. Mitochondria are similar to bacteria in many ways. A good theory on the origin of mitochondria is that a bacteria survived after being engulfed by a larger cell, and formed a mutual symbiosis. If it helps, my personal opinion is that mitochondria are alive, but heavily dependent on a mutual symbiosis of a host cell.
Do viruses have cell membranes?
no i dont think so seeings viruses dont even have cells and good luck
What is the smallest ribosome mitochondrion virus bacterium or protein?
Ribosomes are the smallest between mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and protein. Ribosomes are the building blocks of mitochondria, viruses, bacterium, and proteins.

What are some virus protection applications for Macs?
macs dont get viruses macs dont get viruses

Where are viruses bacteria and old organelles that a cell ingests are broken down in?
Viruses, bacteria, and organelles that a cell ingests are broken down in the mitochondria.
Is there a cell membrane in viruses?
Viruses dont have a cell membrane. Instead, they have a protein sheath.
Are viruses old prehistoric cells or are they highly evolved cells?
viruses dont have cells
Is mitochondria covered by a membrane?
no it is i dont know consult biology.com
What is a heart with a viruses?
I dont know you find it
