A pipette (also called a pipet or a pipettor) is a laboratory instrument used to transport a measured volume of liquid. Pipettes are commonly used in chemistry and molecular biology research as well as medical tests. Pipettes come in several designs for various purposes with differing levels of accuracy and precision, from single piece flexible plastic transfer pipettes to more complex adjustable or electronic pipettes. A pipette works by creating a vacuum above the liquid-holding chamber and selectively releasing this vacuum to draw up and dispense liquid.
Pipettes that dispense between 1 and 1000 μl are termed micropipettes, while macropipettes dispense a greater volume of liquid.

First of all it is pipette. Now this is an apparaus ( tubelike ) to suck out 10 ml or 5 ml (or according to capacity of pipette) of soln. This can be done using mouth or dropper. Why dont you Google it for seeing how it looks

a pipette is a plastic syringe with a large empty area at the top where the pipette is held. this area is also used to store liquids (more often than not water) and transfer them to another container (usually a beaker)

This is a long slender glass tube that is used for transfering liquids. Used alot in chemistry classes and such.
