No, viruses do not need food and do not contain the appropriate organelles to metabolize it.

A virus does not exactly need nourishment. They invade the body and take over the host (meaning the body) and uses the body's metabolic processes for energy.

No, viruses are not capable of any metabolic process except retroviruses that have reverse trascriptase. They depend on the cell they enter for all their needs except the exception I named.
