Best Answer

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.
