Answer:
When one tastes salt, the saltiness taste receptors respond specifically to the sodium cation. That type of taste receptor is a cation channel. This is why lithium and potassium cations also taste salty (though they also stimulate other receptors which make them taste somewhat different).
Sucrose, or table sugar, is formed from two simple sugars: glucose and fructose. All sugars are sweet because they contain OH groups with a particular orientation that can interact with the taste receptor for sweetness in our tongues.
