Best Answer

Trace quantities of arsenic are known to be an essential dietary element in rats, hamsters, goats, chickens, and presumably many other species, including possibly humans. However, arsenic poisoning occurs in all multicellular life if quantities are larger than needed.

Arsenic disrupts ATP synthesis from ADP through several mechanisms. Without enough ATP cells cannot get the energy needed to function and die.
