Diffusion does occur whenever molecular movement is possible. An organism lives because it is able to establish its own equilibria that are different from the random chaos that is nature's equilibrium. After death, any particle that is not in a state of nature's equilibrium will trend to that state until it is achieved. Restated, everything trends towards nature's equilibrium unless some energy is expended to do otherwise. All energy production ceases soon after death. This is when everything trends back to "nature's equilibrium."
Active transport occurs in live organisms as energy is required to move molecules against "nature's equilibrium." After death, energy production soon stops. When it does, so does active transport.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes this may occur for diffusion requires no energy created by cellular structures therefore making it able to keep this process going even after cellular structures throughout the cell die.

Which is a dead organelle in a cell?
I think that every organelle is dead in a dead cell
What prevents active transport taking place?
Believe it or not, cyanide kills us by inhibiting active transport, to such an extent that substances can no longer be transferred across cell membranes. This is one example of a substance that stops the process of active transport dead in its tracks.
What waste material cell leave the cell through the cell membrane?
Dead molecules
Why cell wall is called dead cell?
is the celll wall living
Why is cell wall said to be a dead component of the cell?
the cell wall is important because it keeps the cell together and protect the cell
Which membrane transport process will continue on even though the cell may be alive or dead?
Diffusion
The plant cell which has no nuclear?
The plant cell that has no nucleus? Xylem vessels do not have nucleuses as they are dead cells that transport water and substances dissolved within water.
What does it cost to transport a dead body to Mexico?
it depends who or what company is going to transport it anywhere around the world
Which is a dead organelle in a cell?
I think that every organelle is dead in a dead cell
Why is it impossible for the water conducting cells of xylem to carry on active transport?
The cells of the xylem that conduct water are not alive.
Can a coroner transport a dead body?
Yes.

What is the name of a transport that carry dead people?
A hearse.
Do hospital porters transport dead body's?
yes
Who discovered the dead cell?
A dead man
What is a nonliving thing with cell?
A Dead Cell?
What were trucks used for in world war 1?
to transport dead and alive soldiers. also, to transport equipment (guns)
