Arrange the following in correct sequence:
(1) Taste cell depolarizes.
(2) Action potential stimulated in sensory neuron associated with taste cell.
(3) Food substance dissolves in saliva.
(4) Neurotransmitter released by taste cell.
(5) Food substance enters taste pore and attaches to receptor on taste hair.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for tasting starts with the food substance dissolving in saliva (3), then the substance enters the taste pore and attaches to a receptor on the taste hair (5), leading to the depolarization of the taste cell (1). This depolarization causes the release of neurotransmitters by the taste cell (4), which finally stimulates an action potential in the sensory neuron associated with the taste cell (2).
