Explain why some taste receptor cells and all olfactoryreceptor cells use G protein-coupled receptors, yet onlyolfactory receptor cells produce action potentials.
Many odorant molecules are highly hydrophobic and concentrate within the olfactory epithelium. They would give a persistent signal independent of their concentration in the environment if they were not rapidly modified. Propose a mechanism for converting hydrophobic odorants into watersoluble derivatives that can be rapidly eliminated.
A turkey ordorant molecule comes in contact with the pie ordorant receptor. Would this have an effect on the nerve stimulus being sent from this olfactory cell? Which G protein is activated in this pathway?
