no. Inside a virus, there are only mostly genetic materials and enzymes. It doesn't have any organel and is too simple to survive, or even to digest simple sugar on it's own. To replicate, it gets into a living cell and hijack it.
So virus doesn't need simple sugar as it's simply hijacker, but the host cell may need it

What is the functions of glycogen?
It simply isn't enough for our bodies to have simple sugars (no pun intended) available at all times for our energy uses. This would require us to consume food constantly. This is why we have glycogen. Glycogen is the storage form of those simple sugars. It can be broken down whenever we need energy. A lot more convenient than eating whenever we need energy, wouldn't you say?
Do viruses need oxygen to live?
Yes. Viruses are living things too.
What do viruses need to reporduce?
A CELL
Cell organelle which converts food energy into cellular?
Mitochondria. However, it only converts glucose (a simple sugar) to ATP (usable energy). There are many more enzymes that break down complex sugars to simple sugars. Glucose is the ONLY form of sugar that the mitochondria can convert to ATP. Other simple sugars like galactose and fructose need to be converted to glucose first.
What do the plants need for survival?
They need food which is glucose and they need water and light to photosynthesise.
Do you need simple sugars to survive?
No.
Do you need sugar in your diet?
You need carbohydrates, but simple sugars and processed sugars can be substituted for more complex carbs like whole grains and fibers. While simple sugars aren't inherently bad for you, processed sugars usually come along with a whole lot of nasty stuff.
Why do you need starch in a balanced diet?
It is a complex sugar, allowing to have energy, long lasting energy, unlike simple sugars like "sugar."
How do you design a imaginary creatures?
follow a logical evolutionary progress. Start with something simple and modify existing features according to some definable need. acquiring nutrients survival survival of offspring
What do carbohydrates do for an animal?
nothing really we or they don't really need it
What are the health benefits of monosaccharides?
First, monosaccharides consist of glucose, fructose, and galactose. These are the most simple sugars that exist. The benefit of these sugars is that the body does not need to break down the sugar to use them. Therefore, the sugars go into the blood stream more quickly and gives energy more quickly and increases blood sugar quickly.

What is the need of survival skills?
Survival skills are necessary in the case one is separated from civilization. If you are stuck in the wilderness with no survival skills, one could easily starve, dehydrate, freeze, get heat stroke, and a large other number of ways to die. Survival skills are something everything should know, even if they are a few simple rules.
How do viruses obtain carbohydrates?
Viruses do not need to obtain carbohydrates or any organic compounds for that matter. Viruses are not alive and do not need energy to transport them from locations to locations.
What do baboons need for survival?
they need food!
Do viruses need oxygen to live?
Yes. Viruses are living things too.
Viruses are not alive because they need a what?
Need a host.
