Solution (By Examveda Team)
Prussic acid is hydrocyanic acid or cyanide. It is a rapidly acting lethal toxin. It inhibits oxygen utilization by the animal at the cellular level resulting in suffocation.Prussic is formed in sorghum when the leaf tissues are ruptured by grazing or chopping, hence it is found more in the drought stricken and 2nd growth of plants.
