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.

The Lugol's solution particles were able to cross the model cell membrane, while the starch particles were too large to pass through. Starch is a large molecule that cannot diffuse across the membrane, while Lugol's solution contains smaller molecules (iodine and iodide ions) that are able to pass through.
