Yes, but every cell from bacteria on up has memory and can signal neighboring cells via chemical excretions. When a cell is attacked, it can generate such chemicals even at the instant before it disintegrates. The next time you mow your lawn, remember that the smell of the newly cut grass is a scream that says "THE LAWNMOWER MONSTER IS ATTACKING!" -- or some paraphrase to that effect. John
