An indicator is a substance that changes colour in the presence of another substance.
Let say inside the beaker are substances of both glucose and starch. The glucose and starch are of same colour. By injecting the lugol's solution into the beaker, the lugol's solution changes colour in the area of where starch is, while no colour changes in the presence of glucose. Thus, by using the Lugol's solution which only acts as indicator for starch and not glucose, we could tell part which area floats around with glucose and starch substances.
Lugol's solution works as an indicator because it will stain starches due to iodine's interaction with the coil structure of the polysaccharide.

What will happen if you pour starch indicator solution into the cell and filled the beaker with starch and glucose solution?
The starch indicator solution will diffuse out of the bag (cell) into the beaker, changing the color of the starch solution to a blue, purple, or black color (assuming that it's iodine). The color of the indicator solution inside the bag will not change, because only the glucose can diffuse into the bag, but the starch cannot diffuse into the bag.
What color occurs when the indicator is added and starch is added?
when starch indicator is added, the solution turns from dark blue-black to colourless.
What color does the indicator turn when starch is present?
Iodine is used to indicate whether starch is present in a solution. If starch IS present, the indicator will turn dark blue/black. Iodine is used to indicate whether starch is present in a solution. If starch IS present, the indicator will turn dark blue/black. FOR WHAT PURPOSE WE USE STARCH-IODINE INDICATOR PAPER
What indicator tests for sugar?
A simple test for testing sugar in a solution is by Benedict solution. Add Benedict solution to the solution on heat it will turn brick red or yellow depending upon its concentration.
