- Five different types of taste receptors have been identified in humans. These are salty, sour, sweet, bitter and umami. Taste receptors consist of specific types of proteins incorporated into the plasma membrane of taste receptor cells, which are clustered together in structures called taste buds. All five receptor types are present in each taste bud, which are distributed over most of the tongue surface area. Olfactory receptors are located in the nasal cavity and consist of several thousand different types, each type specific for a different odorant molecule (ligand). If you plug your nose, red wine and coffee taste exactly the same. Explain why this is so.arrow_forwardwhich of the following is true of chemical signals? - they can only be perceived by the intended reciever - they require physical contact between a molecule and a receptor adapted to fit that molecule - they are perceptible from longer distances, on average, than mechanical signals such as sound waves - they are used almost exclusively in a mating or courtship contextarrow_forwardWhich of the following provides the most accurate example of active sensing being used by an animal? Male moths use paired antenna to track the pheronome trail of a female moth Electric fish detect the electric field of other nearby electric fish Cats have a tapetum that enhances their night vision for hunting prey in the dark Bats use echolocation to hunt flying insects at nightarrow_forward
