Benedicts tests for the presence of monosaccharides. It will turn a yellow to red color if it is a positive test, but it does not so starch does not contain monosaccharides.

...Actually..... If starch is heated at 250 degrees Celsius, it breaks down into sugar! a saccharide! The intense heat denatures the the starch and transforms it into sugar. Also, if you have starch and amylase ( enzyme found in your saliva) and heat that to 37 degrees Celsius, you will also get a sugar, but in the form of glucose!

What will happen if you pour starch indicator solution into the cell and filled the beaker with starch and glucose solution?

The starch indicator solution will diffuse out of the bag (cell) into the beaker, changing the color of the starch solution to a blue, purple, or black color (assuming that it's iodine). The color of the indicator solution inside the bag will not change, because only the glucose can diffuse into the bag, but the starch cannot diffuse into the bag.
