How does Lugol's solution work as an indicator?

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.

Result of starch test on variegated leaves?

Starch test on variegated leaves may show varying levels of starch accumulation in different parts of the leaves. Green parts of the variegated leaves that contain chlorophyll will likely test positive for starch as they can photosynthesize, while white or yellow parts that lack chlorophyll may test negative or have lower levels of starch. This difference in starch accumulation can indicate the distribution of photosynthetic activity in the variegated leaves.
