i believe this is because the iodine interfers with the cells normal workings

Iodine stains starch contained in cells. Iodine is also used to distinguish between Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. The Gram stain contains iodine.
the nucleus of a radioactive iodine molecule has excess energy and gives off radiation that can have effects on the cells in which it is concentrated.
Maybe kill it, but mostly used to stain the cells to make it more visible under the microscope.
It affects the end results. If you look at the cell under a microscope, you will see that the section where the solution of the iodine has been placed it will appear different from the others. It might be a seperate colour or it could vary in size.
iodine
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
Staining the onion epidermal cells with iodine will help in making the cells more visible when viewed under a microscope. It has no other effect on 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)
Any liquid that has strong staining properties, like iodine.
iodine stains the onion cells so that you can see the cell better. you can see the nuclei and cytoplasm.
It will make them stand out more under a microscope
Iodine solution is usually used for starch test. It colors the cell blue-black if the starch is present. Onion does not have starch. Hence it will not turn blue-black when iodine solution is added. However it does have its use in staining the cell.Similar questions:Does_onion_juice_contain_starch

there will be change in the color for iodine into blue,black because of the presence of starch in it.
