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.
size and shape. cell membranes are selectively permeable, so only some molecules can get through. (i.e. water can go through, but starch cant) Polarity and size.
It partially brakes down the starch in food to form simple sugars through the enzyme present in it.
Adding water to a starch molecule would lead to the hydrolysis of the starch molecule into smaller subunits such as glucose. This process involves breaking the glycosidic bonds between the glucose units in starch through the addition of water molecules. Ultimately, this results in the breakdown of the starch molecule into simpler sugar components.

Starch molecules are too large to pass through the pores of a partially permeable membrane. The size exclusion limit of the membrane restricts the passage of larger molecules like starch while allowing smaller molecules like water to pass through via osmosis.
After 20 minutes, the glucose molecules will diffuse out of the bag through the partially permeable membrane because they are smaller in size than the starch molecules. The starch molecules, being too large to pass through the membrane, will remain inside the bag.
If a membrane is permeable to a substance, it means that there are gaps/holes/pores in the membrane large enough for that substance to pass through. Starch molecules are bigger that sugar molecules. So if the membrane is not permeable to sugars, the gaps/holes/pores will not be big enough for starch molecules to pass through either.
Yes, it is a partially permeable membrane. It allows certain substances like glucose and water molecules to diffuse through but not large molecules like starch and sucrose. Selectively permeable.
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.
Whether molecules are able to pass through the membrane depends on the size of the molecules. Smaller ones can, and larger ones cannot. Glucose can pass through a cell membrane because it is a monomer, which is a smaller molecule than the polymer molecules of starch.

Iodine is permeable to a plastic bag because the starch's molecules are too large to pass through the bag (starch is a complex sugar made of a large chain of monosaccharides), while the Iodine can pass through since iodine is usually only two Iodine atoms (I2).
politary and speed
Solutions tend to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. So if a bag is permeable to starch, the starch will rush into the bag.
