Answer 1

HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for asking this question.

In the back of the mouth, the tongue is anchored into the hyoid bone. The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. A fifth taste, called umami, results from tasting glutamate (present in MSG).

To date, there are five different types of taste receptors known: salt, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami.

I HOPE IT HELPS U.
