Question

Which sensory receptors would allow you to tell the difference between sweet and sour? Photoreceptors,thermotecptors,chemoreceptors,mechanorecptors

Answer 1

The sensory receptors that would allow you to tell the difference between sweet and sour are chemoreceptors. Chemoreceptors are responsible for detecting chemical stimuli, such as taste and smell. In the case of sweet and sour tastes, different chemical compounds on the taste buds stimulate specific chemoreceptors which send signals to the brain, allowing us to perceive the difference between the two tastes.
