Grammar
check on/check up on/check
I have to check on/check up on/check my schedule to see if I have to get up early tomorrow morning.
When you fry fish, you need to check on/check up on/check each side to make sure it doesn't burn.
After you finish your test, you'd better check on/check up on/check your answers carefully.
Which fits in the above context best respectively? And why? Thanks.

Thanks, Yankee, for the reply and the link.
Nevertheless, I still don't quite understand the differences between "check on" and "check up on." Could I omit "up" in the following without making a change in meaning?
My mum checks up on me most evenings to see that I've done my homework.
By the way, could I say "investigates me" or "looks into me" instead o
