cyanide halts cellular respiration (by inhibiting an enzyme) and as we know one of mitochondria functions is exactly cellular respiration.
so answer is: within mitochondria

Answer:Cyanide will be found in mitochondria of cell.It is a toxin for human body and it prevents the body from using oxygen.Our body cells has an organelle called mitochondria which is known as the power house of the cell as it generates energy for the cells to perform their function.Cyanide binds to the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase which is found in mitochondria and inhibits the uptake of oxygen from bloodstream.This is the reason most of the cyanide will be found in mitochondria.
