The cyanide ion halts cellular respiration by inhibiting an enzyme in the mitochondria

Liver, Spleen & Brain (Not the kidneys)
Large doses of cyanide prevent oxygen from entering cells so cellular respiration could no longer take place and the cells die.
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.
Potassium Cyanide, because K is the symbol for Potassium and CN represents cyanide.
cyanide ionCannium (Cn)the polyatomic anion cyanide. compounds can be named such as Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) and Sodium cyanide (NaCN)
Cyanide and nitriles can be grouped together. A nitrile is an organic compound that contains a cyanide (CN) group. However, other substances often called cyanide are not nitriles, including hydrogen cyanide, sodium cyanide, and potassium cyanide.
The binding of cyanide to cytochrome c oxidase prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen in the mitochondria.As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted, meaning that the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy. The central nervous system and the heart, are particularly affected. Oral ingestion of a small quantity of solid cyanide or a cyanide solution as little as 200 mg, or to airborne cyanide of 270 ppm is sufficient to cause a very painful death within minutes.The binding of cyanide to cytochrome c oxidase prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen in the mitochondria.As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted, meaning that the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy.
