H. Taste Test
The picture on the left shows a map of the tongue where different types of
tastes can be identified. In this activity, you should be able to prove/disprove the
correctness of the map.
Dissolve a pinch of sugar in a teaspoon of distilled (drinking) water and place
in a small container. Do the same with a pinch of salt and baking soda and place
in a separate container. Using a dropper (or any stick-like material such as tooth-
pick, chop stick, spoon handle, barbeque stick and deep it in the solution) place a
drop on each of the area for the different types of taste and the middle of the tongue.
Always gargle with distilled water after every test. Fill-in the table with the data.

d. The salt solution is the only substances that could be determined in the middle of the tongue.
e. Intensity of the taste of the substances are different form every area of the tongue.
2. Give a possible reason for your conclusion: Choose a letter. -
a. Specific taste buds are located in each area of the tongue thus, can only determine a specific taste.
b. The middle tongue contains taste buds which can only determine salty taste.
c. The taste buds can determine all taste, but are located in different areas and different quantities on the
tongue.
d. Taste buds contain gustatory cells specific for a certain taste.
