Cyanide is a poison that stops the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration by blocking the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. This prevents the production of ATP, leading to cell death due to lack of energy.

Carbon monoxide and cyanide can cause aerobic respiration from happening.
Cyanide
Cyanide is a potent poison that stops aerobic respiration by interfering with the electron transport chain in mitochondria. This disruption prevents cells from using oxygen to produce energy, ultimately leading to cell death.
Oxygen is needed for respiration.It will be stopped
Cyanide is a poison that stops one of the important reactions in aerobic respiration by inhibiting the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which is crucial in the electron transport chain. This disruption prevents the electron transport chain from functioning properly, leading to a halt in ATP production and ultimately cell death.
