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.
