Cyanide inhibits respiration. By inhibiting respiration, you also inhibit active transport because active transport requires energy from ATP made in respiration. Remember: anything that affects respiration, affects active transport too, because it is an energy requiring process!
Cyanide inhibits mitochondrial function by binding to cytochrome c oxidase (Complex IV) in the electron transport chain. This prevents the enzyme from transferring electrons to oxygen, disrupting the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. As a result, cellular respiration is blocked and energy production is impaired, leading to cellular dysfunction and ultimately cell death.
mitochondria. Cyanide binds to cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain involved in producing ATP. Therefore, most of the cyanide would be found within the mitochondria of the cell.
Metabolic poisons such as cyanide can inhibit the production of ATP by interfering with the electron transport chain in mitochondria. This disruption halts ATP synthesis and subsequently stops active transport processes that rely on ATP for energy.
Cellular respiration. More specifically, electron transport chain. Cyanide doesn't just simply limit manufacturing of ATP, it blocks the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase, a crucial enzyme in the electron transport chain. Since ETC is the largest supplier of ATP, the ATP supply in the cell declines rapidly.
Cyanide blocks the electron transport chain in mitochondria, preventing the production of ATP. Without ATP, cells cannot carry out vital functions and can lead to cell death.
Cyanide acts at the level of the cell mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) to stop the utilization of oxygen in the formation of energy (adenotriphosphates - ATP). Without this energy (ATP), cells cannot function and ultimately die. Cyanide has the same effect in humans... you can die of cyanide poisoning.

Cyanide blocks the last step in the production of ATP. The binding of cyanide to cytochrome c oxidase prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen. No ATP will be produced. The central nervous system and the heart are the most to be affected. Death can occur in minutes.
Cyanide blocks cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria. This is a transmembrane protein that establishes a proton gradient used by ATP synthase to create ATP. This shuts down ATP production leading to a quick death if exposure is high enough.
