Which of the following is NOT an accurate comparison between gustation and phototransduction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gustation (taste) and phototransduction (light detection) involve different mechanisms for sensory cell activation. In gustation, particularly for sweet taste, the sensory cells are activated and depolarize in response to sweet tastants through a mechanism involving G-protein coupled receptors (not directly through T1 receptors for sweet taste) and second messenger pathways. In contrast, photoreceptor cells in the retina hyperpolarize, not depolarize, in response to light due to the closure of sodium channels, which is a different mechanism from the depolarization mentioned in the question.
