Which cellular organelle would be affected by cyanide poisoning?

Large doses of cyanide prevent oxygen from entering cells so cellular respiration could no longer take place and the cells die.

Why is it not possible to survive cyanide poisoning by using anaerobic respiration alone?
It is impossible to survive Cyanide Poisoning on Anaerobic Respiration alone, because Anaerobic Respiration supplies inadequate amounts of ATP to support the metabolism of an organism.
Cyanide binds with at least one molecule involved in producing ATP If a cell is exposed to cyanide most of the cyanide would be found within the?
Cyanide binds with at least one molecule involved in producing ATP. If a cell is exposed to cyanide, most of the cyanide would be found within the mitochondria?
In cyanide poisoning levels of ATP in the brain plummet but levels of lactic acid increase markedly why?
Oxidative phosphorilation is impeded so only glycolic fermentation is taking place. ( I was under the impression that only oxidative phosphorilation takes place in the brain )
What is the effect of cyanide on ATP function?
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!
Since cyanide is a poison that limits a cells ability to manufacture ATP a cell containing cyanide is least likely to carry on the process of?
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.
What stages in cellular respiration are affected by cyanide and hydrogen sulfide?
The cyanide ion halts cellular respiration by inhibiting an enzyme in the mitochondria
Which oxygen dependent tissues are affected by acute cyanide poisoning?
Brain liver heart
Which oxygen dependent tissues are severely affected by acute cyanide poisoning?
Brain, liver, heart
What oxygen-dependent tissue is severly affected by acute cyanide poisoning?
Liver, Spleen & Brain (Not the kidneys)
Does cyanide poisoning look like heart disease?
No, cyanide poisoning stop the respiration .
What organelle does cyanide act upon?
liver
How do you use the word cyanide in a sentence?
Vapors sniffed to counter the effects of cyanide poisoning.
How did hitler kill himseft?
Cyanide poisoning and a bullet.
Why does urine smell like almonds?
Cyanide Poisoning.
How does cyanide and DNP work on cellular respiration?
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.
What causes almond-like feces odor?
Cyanide poisoning.
Does cyanide block aerobic metabolism by interfering with cell use of oxygen.?
Hydrogen cyanide block the cellular respiration.
