The following text is for questions no. 73-76.

The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste buds on the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other taste are just mixture of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongues has more than fifteen thousand taste buds (or cells). These are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called taste messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste buds will pick up the taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. This happens in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste buds for salty and sweet taste are found round the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour taste can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste buds of the bitter taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste buds at the center of the tongue.
The sentence of smell and sight can affect taste. The delicious smell of food increases its taste. Similarly, attractive colors can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is dull-colored, it will not look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when placed in the mouth, will have no taste at all.
