Cyanide is a toxic acid or salt and is deadly to just about any carbon based human life form. When Cyanide is added to the water of an Amoeba it stops the contractile vacuole from working, the contractile vacuole is vital in the survival of the Amoeba, because without it the Amoeba would basically just explode with water and die. The contractile vacuole pumps away the excess water. But, when cyanide is added to the water like I said the contractile vacuole will malfunction and not work. This will in the end result in the death of the cell....
I hope that helped!! :)
