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!! :)
What else can I help you with?
If a shipwrecked crew drinks sea water they will probably die Why?
They will die because of dehydration due to the high level of salt in sea water.

Name two ways you can slow down or stop photosynthesis?
keep the plant in the dark so it has loss of light therefore the it will die keep it in the dark therefore it cant produce food glucose etc loss of the light can also kill the plant.
Why would an Amoeba die if placed in salt water?
Freshwater amoeba in salt water will have a higher solute content outside of the amoeba. The water in the amoeba will want to move out of the amoeba and into the environment. This will cause the amoeba to shrivel and die.
Why does the amoeba die when cyanide is added to it's water?
Cyanide inhibits cellular respiration by binding to cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria, disrupting the electron transport chain. In amoebas, this prevents the production of ATP, which is essential for energy production and survival. Without ATP, essential cellular functions cannot be carried out, leading to cellular death.
How amoeba die?
Amoeba can die if they lack oxygen. They need it.
Is KCN soluble?
Yes, Potassium cyanide is highly soluble in water die to being a highly reactive acid.
What would happen to fresh water amoeba if placed in salty water?
Freshwater amoeba placed in salty water would experience water leaving their cells through osmosis, leading to dehydration, shrinkage, and eventually cell death. The high salt concentration outside the amoeba would create a hypertonic environment, causing water to flow out of the cell to try to balance the concentration difference.
How does Danube Cyanide Spill poison animals?
Cyanide acts at the level of the cell mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) to stop the utilization of oxygen in the formation of energy (adenotriphosphates - ATP). Without this energy (ATP), cells cannot function and ultimately die. Cyanide has the same effect in humans... you can die of cyanide poisoning.
Will you die if you have amoeba's on you?
no you wont
What is cyanide fishing?
cyanide fishing kills coral reef cause of many fish die.
What would happen if someone had cyanide?

What is the irritation of an amoeba?
irritability of amoeba is the stimulus that come during the amoeba moves. its like a virus to the amoeba like some viruses come to us. but they die after a few days. SEND BACK IF I HELPED!!!! :)
What would happen if cyanide was spilled?
You would die
What happens if you eat too much cyanide?
You die
