Osmosis video 30/3/12

What is the result of this experiment?
The dialysis tubing that contained starch solution turned dark blue.


Explain the results that you see in the video.
The iodine in the water passed through the dialysis tubing into the starch solution. The dialysis tubing is a selectively permeable membrane, so since starch solution when interacted with iodine would turn dark blue, the starch solution in the dialysis tubing would turn dark blue.
