A. Over time, both iodine and starch are equally distributed throughout the two solutions. B. Due to its size and polarity, starch was able to exit the dialysis bag and interact with the iodine solution. C. Due to its size and polarity, iodine was able to enter the dialysis bag and interact with starch.
