Re: taste
Hi - It can be fun to explore taste!
Have you identified a project yet that you will be working on? These are all questions that can be answered through some background reading on taste -- and through some experimentation. If you have not yet narrowed down the project you might explore, you may want to look at this one:
The Nose Knows Smell but How About Taste?
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p010.shtml
This one, also, might be one in which you're interested:
Do You Love the Taste of Food? Find Out if You're a Supertaster!
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p017.shtml
The introductory material for those projects (as well as the bibliographic information and links) will help you with some of the background research it sounds like you are doing.
