Cyanide is not good for cell growth; in fact, it is a potent toxin that inhibits cellular respiration. It disrupts the electron transport chain in mitochondria, preventing cells from effectively producing ATP, which is essential for energy. As a result, exposure to cyanide can lead to cell death and is harmful to most forms of life.
Cyanide is good for you. EAT IT!
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.
If red blood cells are placed in an isotonic solution containing cyanide, the cyanide will enter the cell and disrupt the electron transport chain in mitochondria. This will prevent ATP production, leading to cell death. The cell membrane may also be damaged due to the effects of cyanide poisoning.
interphase- in preparation for cell division it increases its size. (cell growth occurs)
The poison in cyanide is the cyanide ion (CN-), which inhibits cellular respiration by binding to an enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria. This prevents cells from using oxygen, leading to cell death due to lack of energy production.
If a cell is exposed to cyanide, most of the cyanide will be found within the mitochondria. Cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme in the electron transport chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, disrupting cellular respiration and leading to 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.

Cyanide
Cyanide is a potent inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular respiration. By disrupting this process, cyanide impairs the production of ATP, the cell's primary energy source. As a result, diffusion processes within the cell, including the movement of molecules across membranes, are disrupted, leading to cellular damage and eventually cell death.

They help in everything from cell growth to organ functioning.
Yes, cyanide blocks aerobic metabolism by binding to cytochrome oxidase in the mitochondria, preventing the cells from using oxygen for energy production. This results in the inhibition of the electron transport chain and the production of ATP, leading to cell death.
Growth in an organism is carefully controlled by regulating the cell cycle. In plants, the roots continue to grow as they search for water and nutrients. These regions of growth are good for studying the cell cycle because at any given time, you can find cells that are undergoing mitosis.
Your growth is cell growth (and cell division).
