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.

You are watching this video and paying very close attention, I'm sure!

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant

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 product of photosynthe

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 Make observations. Liquid sample Add a  few drops  of the liquid food sample to a dry te
