since distilled water is hypotinic to the amoeba's cell sap water moves into the amoeba through osmosis diluting it's cell sap, the contractile vacuole become more active in order to eliminate excess water

What happens if you put wilted celery in distilled water?
Distilled water is a hypotonic solution. Due to diffusion, water wants to go into the cell to reach equilibrium. Whereas, a salt water solution (hypertonic) would make the water leave the cell. So, if you put "wilted celery in distilled water" then water would diffuse into the piece of celery; making it become harder.

What will happen if you put coloured water in a animal cell?
I think the cell will turn whatever color water you put (under the microscope). It will also become bigger.
If a cell lives in hypotonic environment what will happen if placed in hypertonic environment?
If a cell is used to living in a hypotonic environment, that means that there exists less solute concentration outside of the cell. Take, for example, a red blood cell (RBC). When the RBC is placed in distilled water, the RBC is hypertonic to the water. The water is hypotonic to the RBC. In this case, the RBC will swell, and in most cases rupture. However, if one were to put an RBC in very salty water, the RBC would be hypotonic to the salt water. The salt water would be a hypertonic environment. In this case, the water would diffuse out of the RBC, causing it to shrivel. Awigman
Is plasmolysis reversible?
Just put distilled water in an eyedropper and put several drops onto the cells. I've only done it with red onion cells, but it wouldn't hurt to try. Make sure you don't wait too long to do it, though, otherwise the cells will be dead for good.
