Test tubes are widely used by chemists to hold, mix, or heat small quantities of solid or liquid chemicals, especially for qualitative experiments and assays. Their round bottom and straight sides minimize mass loss when pouring, make them easier to clean, and allow convenient monitoring of the contents. The long, narrow neck slows down the spreading of vapors and gases to the environment. A test tube filled with water and upturned into a water-filled beaker is often used to capture gases, e.g. in electrolysis demonstrations. Culture tubes are often used in biology for handling and culturing all kinds of live organisms, such as molds, bacteria, seedlings, plant cuttings, etc.; and in medicine and forensics to store samples of blood or other fluids. A test tube with a stopper is often used for temporary storage of chemical or biological samples. Test tubes are usually held in special-purpose racks, clamps, or tongs. Some racks for culture tubes are designed to hold the tubes in a nearly horizontal position, so as to maximize the surface of the culture medium inside. Test tubes are sometimes put to casual uses outside of lab environments, e.g. as flower vases or containers for spices.
A double buret clamp is used in laboratories. The function of the clamp is to hold burets, flasks, or test tubes steady in an upright position.
They are used in practical experiments, particularly chemistry, to hold test tubes, burettes etc in position over something else such as a Bunsen burner or beaker.
to heat things up, to hold test tubes while the get heated (mostly to heat things up)
To hold test tubes when collecting powders or observing it :)
Holding open culture tubes in an almost horizontal position helps prevent contamination by airborne particles and reduces the risk of spilling or splashing the contents. This position also minimizes the chances of introducing external contaminants into the culture, which can affect the results of the experiment.

They are used to hold the tubes when you have to heat them with a reagent in them.
Typically, no. Test tubes are generally smaller than beakers and have less volume. Beakers are designed to hold larger amounts of liquid compared to test tubes.

Test tubes hold chemicals and are convenient when you need to mix liquids together. They can be used to pour or to hold a solution in order to heat it over a flame.
