Well, honey, viruses don't have lungs or any respiratory system to exchange gases. They're basically just genetic material wrapped in a protein coat, not little organisms like bacteria. So, no, viruses don't exchange gases because they don't breathe.

A bacteria is motile in many cases. Flagella. Viruses must depend on the current in solution. As you see viruses do not have any of the markers of living organisms, but some biologists do not fully agree that viruses are not a sort of living organism.
