It stops the activity within the cell.
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.
The activation of a second messenger inside the receiving cell, the triggering of enzyme activity in the cell, and the change of permeability of the cell.
its help in plant cell growth.

One important chemical activity that takes place inside a cell is cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the mitochondria and involves a series of complex chemical reactions.
A virus is an inert chemical, with no metabolic activity, when it is not inside a cell. It cannot function on its own. Whereas with a living cell you always have a metabolism, even if the cell is part of a parasitic organism.
The purpose of adding iodine solution to the onion cell is to stain the cell's starch granules. Starch granules will appear blue-black when iodine solution is added, allowing for easy visualization of the presence of starch in the cell.
Iodine is often used to stain onion cells to make the cell structures more visible under a microscope. The iodine solution will stain specific cell components such as the cell walls and starch grains, allowing for easier observation and analysis of the cells.
iodine indicates polysaccharides, therefore plant cells can be stained with iodine, staining the chloroplasts- composed of starch(a polysaccharide), and the cell wall- composed of cellulose ( a polysaccharide)
Iodine is used as a stain to make cell structures more visible under a microscope. In the second slide of the onion cell experiment, iodine helps to stain the nucleus and other organelles within the cells, allowing for better observation and study of the cell components.
The nucleus regulates the cell's activities, because it controls what the cell does, what comes inside the cell and leaves the cell. It acts like the 'brain' of the cell.
