Many toxins and poisons block certain enzymes in the mitochondria. For example, many fruits, including apricots, apples, plums,

peaches, and cherries, contain seeds and pits that can cause the formation and release of the poison cyanide if they are ground and ingested. Cyanide binds to an enzyme in the inner mitochondrial membrane critical to energy production. Why would this be fatal for a cell?

How is tonicity affected by solutes?
zloy xaker [14]

Unlike osmotic pressure, tonicity is influenced only by solutes that cannot cross the membrane, as only these exert an effective osmotic pressure. Solutes able to freely cross the membrane do not affect tonicity because they will always equilibrate with equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane without net solvent movement.
