the answer is...
nope
Because viruses are non-living things and so they do not need for food like living things. They are just light particles that float around the air and they cannot be seen by the naked eye and they can be passed on to other organism if touched. They attack healthy cells in living things. Viruses do not have an organized cell structure.They do not have characteristics of living things and thus, cannot metabolize food.
To metabolize means to change food energy into chemical energy that the body can use.
The virus injects its own DNA structure into healthy cells where new virus cells grow.
note that i am talking about viruses instead of bacteria.
Viruses that are mature have characteristics that help to identify them.
Viruses can not reproduce by themselves like bacteria or cells. They must attach themselves to the cell membrane of animals / cell wall of plants and inject a part of their DNA into the cells of the host organism.They do this by using a hollow tube structure to puncture the cell wall/membrane and pass its DNA into the cell. New virus cells are incubated inside the invaded cell. Once the virus DNA reproduces itself inside the cell, it uses the natural process of osmosis to leave the cell. These new virus cells would then attach and infect other healthy cells
