Question

Cyanide is an especially powerful natural poison derived from a chemical found in wild almonds. Even small does have been shown to be extremely lethal to animal cells, and a hand full of wild almonds contains enough cyanide to kill an adult human. Cyanide is especially lethal because it works by stopping the mitochondria's ability to function in the production of energy rich molecules. Would cyanide also kill plant cells? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Could kill a plant by passing long time

Step-by-step explanation:

Cyanide can be absorbed by plants by their roots, it can inhibit plant respiration and interferes also in absorption of nutrients from the soil. If the doses are so high or the time of exposition is too long, can end in plant death.

If the concentration is small will affect plant grow and plant germination, so again, can reduce plant population.
