Why use iodine in plant cells staining?
People use iodine on plant cells because it reacts with the starch in the cell causing it to change colour and allowing you to see it through a microscope
Add a drop of iodine to both a distilled water test tube and to the test tube containing the starch solution in the test tube What do you observe?
The starch solution will turn black, while the distilled water will remain brown, the same colour as the iodine. This is actually because water, normally used as a control, does not contain any starch and as we know, the iodine test is highly specific for the presence of starch hence no colour change other than iodine dissolving in water to form an iodine solution contrary to starch which we know complexes with iodine, to form starch-iodine complex forming the blue-black colour observed

A student adds iodine solution to egg white and waits for a color change. How long will the student wait?
What happens when iodine is added to starch and distilled water?
As you know that iodine act as indicator for testing of starch so when a drop of iodine is added to starch it turns bluish black but when added to distilled water nothing happens except the colour of water which turns brown and its is the colour of iodine.
What happens when iodine is added to a starch solution?
When iodine is added to starch it turns a blackish color due to a chemical reaction.
Why does iodine change colour when starch is present?
The startch and iodine molecule interact- the electron energy levels are affected on the iodine enough to change the absorption spectrim and hence the color.

it does not turn blue when mixed with iodine. I don't think there is a colour change.

Why does starch turn blue with iodine?
the iodine does not turn the starch black."The iodine clock reaction is based around the colour change that occurs when iodine reacts with starch, turning from a clear colour to a black-blue colour." (2) The starch allows the iodine and the iodide ions to bond, forming a triodide ion.I2(aq) + I−(aq) ⇌ I3−(aq)In this reaction, iodide is viewed as a base, and iodine is viewed as an acid.The iodine is a ligand and is surrounded by the starch,as for the colour change, that is due to the iodine absorbing all light wavelengths corresponding to colours, hence not letting any through, so what you are seeing when the solution is black, is the absence of light and colour alltogether,hope that helps
