let said i have got a zener diode in series with 2 resistors.
What can i observe from the IV curve with resistors and the IV curve without resistors?
Please advise. Thanks.

A low voltage zener diode is a lousy voltage regulator. Its voltage changes a lot when its current changes and its voltage drops as it gets warm.
A high voltage zener diode is also a lousy voltage regulator. Its voltage changes as its current changes and its voltage increases as it gets warm.
A 5.6V to 6.2V zener diode is good. Its VI curve is allmost a vertical line which is good voltage regulation and temperature changes have a very small effect.
