Lesson 84 : See, Look And Watch

Lesson 84: See VS Look VS Watch

Willie
Hello! I'm Willie from Page Learning English Tutorials and in this lesson , we're going to look at the differences between see, watch and look.

All three are verbs and all three involve using your eyes.

See:
See can have many non-literal meanings, but its basic meaning is 'to have the ability to use your eyes' or 'to notice something with your eyes'. It is irregular so: see, saw, seen

I can't see anythig with the lights off.Did you see the full moon last night? It was huge!

Look:
Look means 'to turn your eyes towards something so that you can see it'. Its verb forms are look, looked, looked.

They said that if I look carefully at the painting, I can see a flower.

Watch:
Watch means 'look at something for a period of time' - really looking carefully. Its verb forms are watch, watched, watched.

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.

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils

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 ...
