Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Bases (alkalis) do not taste bitter in general. That is not a correct generalization. Chemicals taste bitter if and only if they bind to bitter taste receptors, and there are about 30 bitter taste receptors.

Many bitter compounds in food are indeed alkaline, but this is because natural bitter compounds in food often contain amine groups. Amine groups are weak bases.

Acids do taste sour, and this is because of the pH. Sour taste receptors detect dissolved hydrogen ions. In other words, sour taste receptors are pH detectors.

Many acids also taste bitter, and this is because they bind to bitter taste receptors.

The sweet taste of sugar is not related to pH. Most sugars are roughly neutral in pH.

Many chemicals taste different at different pH values, because the change in pH changes which bitter receptors the compound can bind to.
