<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The biological macro molecule protein can serve as a precursor to the production of cyanide. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Cyanides are chemical compounds that contain the cyanide group(C≡N). </em>Based on the elements attached to the cyanide group cyanides can be classified into organic and inorganic cyanides.

<em>In inorganic cyanides the cyanide group is present as CN^- ion which makes them toxic.  In organic cyanides  CN^- group is not present and thus they are less toxic. </em>

Since nitrogen is the essential component in a cyanide, a biomolecule containing nitrogen will best act as the precursor to cyanide formation.

<em>The biomolecule protein is a long chain polymer of amino acids that contain nitrogen group.  Thus proteins can act as precursor to cyanide formation. </em>
