The statement that most accurately describes test tubes and beakers is:
"Beakers have liquid volume (mL) markings on the side of them; test tubes are unmarked."
While it is true that beakers typically have markings for measuring volume and test tubes usually do not, the other statements contain inaccuracies, such as the assertion regarding flame exposure and functionality in transferring liquids.
