Theoretically, distilled water should test negative for just about everything but wetness!
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.
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
If we use distill water in gram staining instead of alcohol then both gram +ve and gram -ve will appear blue as distilled water is not able to remove crystal violet from cell wall and so when we counter stain the cell with safranin it will give no effect of that and cell show only blue colour
Distilled water would have a higher water potential than a red blood cell because the formula for obtaining water potential is -iCRT, where i=ionization constant, C=molar concentration, R=pressure constant--usually 0.0831 liter bars/mole K, and T=temperature in Kelvins. Since distilled has a molar concentration of 0, the water potential would be 0. And a red blood cell would have a negative water potential because it does have some sort of molar concentration. Thus, distilled water would have a higher water potential because 0 is greater than a negative number. As a note, water always flows from areas of higher water potential to areas of lower water potential. Therefore, it is easy to imagine that water flows toward more concentrated solutions, meaning it would flow to the red blood cell. If distilled water flows to the red blood cell, then it must have a higher water potential than the red blood cell.
Yes, consuming large quantities of distilled water can lead to water intoxication, which can be fatal.

If the glucose, starch, and iodine pass through the cell membrane, you can perform a color change test. The presence of glucose will show a positive result with Benedict's reagent turning orange/red. The presence of starch will show a positive result with iodine turning blue/black.

Distilled water is close to pure water, and if it was distilled in a clean environment it would be pure water. Thus no, it would not have maltose ( a sugar) in it.

distilled water
It carries neither a positive or negative charge.
Testing starch, sugar, and distilled water separately helps to establish baselines for comparison. This ensures that any observed changes in the results are due to the specific substance being tested rather than external factors. It helps in accurately determining the reactions and properties of each substance.
Starch can give a negative iodine test when starch is mixed with iodine in water. The iodine gets stuck in the coils of beta amylase molecules and the starch forces the iodine atoms into a linear arrangement in the central groove of the coil.
You may regard distilled water as a pure substance. Common salt would be another, as would refined sugar.
No, distilled water is distilled water.
You would use potato starch and water
