Answer:

<h3>Yes, Passive transport can occur in dead cells.</h3>

Explanation:

For passive transport to occur, a concentration gradient has to be formed across a permeable or semi-permeable membrane. If the cell membrane of the dead cell, which is a semipermeable membrane, is intact and a concentration gradient has formed on both sides, passive transport can occur.

A concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of solute molecules  across the membrane. Passive transport will allow solute molecules to travel from the higher concentration of the solute to the lower concentration across a membrane till equilibrium is reached, that is, both the sides of the membrane has equal concentration of the solute.

The transport of the solvent can occur as well, from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Universal laws are the ethics that guide the behavior of humankind. These laws are universally accepted by all humans and are followed by them in their daily lives. Law of attraction, the law of vibration, is some of the examples of universal law.

Explanation:

Kant believed that telling a lie is wrong, and murdering a human is a crime. All humans should follow these two principles. Keeping in mind the words of Kant, in the given situation, I will not tell the murderer about the exact location of my friend. I will not remain silent also because that crazy man could kill me too. Instead of telling him the right directions, I will tell him the wrong directions and will send him to the wrong place so that he would not harm my friend and me. Though telling a lie is wrong but saving two lives will be more important to me in this situation.

As soon as the murderer leaves, I will call the police and will tell them the direction in which the murderer has gone. This will save me as well as my friend's life, and the murderer will also get punishment for his sin.

Hope this helps!!
