If you think to Lugol, this solution is used as antiseptic, disinfectant, source of iodine, reagent for starch detection, reagent to detect some microbes, etc.
When added to starch, the solution turns dark blue or black.
Lugol's iodine, also known as Lugol's solution, first made in 1829, is a solution of elemental iodine and potassium iodide in water, named after the French physician J.G.A. Lugol. Lugol's iodine solution is often used as an antiseptic and disinfectant, for emergency disinfection of drinking water, and as a reagent for starch detection in routine laboratory and medical tests. It is also used for the treatment of goiter.

The particles that were able to cross the model cell membrane was the Lugol's solution.
Iodine-Potassium-Iodide - IKI - Lugol's Solution
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.
