Gram's iodine is called a mordant because it fixes the primary stain to the cell wall and adds any color.

I just did a lab in biology called "How Plant and Animal Cells Differ" and in the packet it had that question. The answer is: Lugol's iodine stain stops the activity of the cell. It kills whatever specimen it is staining.
Simple answer is that it kills infections. It is poisonous in large concentrations (as found in direct application) but is actually beneficial in low concentrations. (as would happen when it diffuses through the body). Iodine deficiency is the cause of several thyroid abnormalities such as goutier. The main reason that iodine kills is that it sets up a concentration bias that will rupture bacterial cell-membranes.
The cell needs food and water so it diffuses it to maintain health.
Isobutane
Water diffuses across their cell membranes
the outer most part of the cell where items diffuse into the cell, and waste diffuses out of the cell to be disposed.
