Why weren't you able to successfully identify all the flavors of candy when your nose was plugged? The sensory neurons from our taste buds are routed through our olfactory epithelium before being interpreted in the brain. O Taste and smell are interpreted in the same area of the brain, so if 1 sense is not working properly, then the other sense won't work either. The flavor of food that we interpret in our brain is composed of sensory information from both our taste buds and our olfactory cells.

Which of these statements about taste is true? All bitter-tasting compounds have a similar chemical structure Sourness is detected when hydrogen ions bind to membrane receptors Sodium ions from foods can directly depolarize certain taste cells Sweetness is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in food
The olfactory system has many receptor types but the transduction process is very similar in each receptor type. What do these transduction processes all have in common? They all use G protein-coupled receptors. They are all linked to a particular gustatory (taste) receptor type. O They all use ionotropic receptors. O They all involve temporarily hyperpolarizing the receptors, rather than depolarizing them.
