Hi, it's Georgina from Page  Learning English Tutorials . Today we look at 5 ways of using 'run'.

Walk fast:
Run can mean 'move your legs faster than a walk'.
Examples
. I had to run for the bus this morning.
. I like to run around the park twice a week.
Go somewhere:
Run can be used when we need to go somewhere unexpectedly for a short time.
Examples
. I have to run to the shop later. We need milk.
. I'm just running to town. Do you need anything?
Transport:
Run can describe the action of a regular transport service.
Examples
. The train runs every hour until quite late.
. The bus service runs as far north as Manchester.
Boss:
You can use run to show that someone is the boss of a project.
Examples
. My wife  runs a clothes shop.
. The construction is being run by the youngest architect ever.
Leave:
Run can mean 'leave in a hurry'.
Example
I've got to run. See you tomorrow.
We hope you enjoyed English in a minute. Bye!

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant

By
De-starching the Leaves of a Plant 'De-starch (or Destarch) the leaves of a potted plant' is one of the preliminary steps in a  photosynthesis experiment . Biology students often ask the following questions about de-starching. What is  the definition of de-starching? Why it is necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? What happens to the starch stores when the potted plant is deprived of light or carbon dioxide? How to de-starch the leaves of a plant? What is the definition of de-starching? De-starching is the process by which the starch reserves in a plant are depleted by depriving the plant of either light or carbon dioxide.  Why is it necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? We test for the presence  of starch  in leaves in order to determine that photosynthesis has occurred. Glucose -  the p...

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils

By
Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils The  Ethanol Emulsion Test  is a  food test  which determines the presence of a broad group of naturally occurring compounds known as  lipids . Lipids consist of  fats  and  oils . Other lipid tests include the  Grease Spot Test  and the  Sudan Stain Test . The Grease spot test is performed on fats - lipids which are solid at room temperature. Sudan stain colours lipids red, but is a less common bench reagent than ethanol. The Ethanol Emulsion Test is the most common test amongst the three. Procedure Solid sample  Crush  the food sample and place in a dry test tube. Add ethanol  to about 2 cm3 above the level of the sample and shake thoroughly. Allow the solid to  settle  (about 3 min) to allow the lipid to be extracted. Decant  the ethanol into another test tube. Add 2 cm3 of  deionized water  to the second test tube ...
