Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The direct flow of charged atoms (ions) into the tips of the taste buds is primarily responsible for the perception of salt and sour tastes. Salt taste is detected through the direct entry of sodium ions, while sour taste is detected through the entry of hydrogen ions (protons), which can directly flow into the taste cells.
