Cyanide is known to be an inhibitor of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. It works by inhibiting one of the cytochrome enzymes (Cit C in the picture). So how do you cause the death of an individual? It explains from the cellular process that is affected and how this leads to the death of the individual.

Definition Definition Set of metabolic processes and reactions that produce energy from organic substances such as glucose. Cellular respiration takes place in the organism’s cells, where the chemical energy from nutrients or molecules of oxygen is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration; in the absence of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration.
