Arrange the following in correct sequence:
(1) gustatory cell depolarizes
(2) action potential stimulated in gustatory neurons
(3) food substance dissolves in saliva
(4) neurotransmitter released by gustatory cell
(5) food substance enters taste pore and attaches to receptor on gustatory hair
A. 5, 4, 1, 2, 3
B. 3, 5, 1, 4, 2
C. 5, 3, 1, 4, 2
D. 3, 1, 4, 5, 2

c. 3, 5, 1, 4, 2

Explanation:

1. (3) food substance dissolves in saliva

2. (5) food substance enters taste pore and attaches to receptor on gustatory hair

3. (1) gustatory cell depolarizes

4. (4) neurotransmitter released by gustatory cell

5. (2) action potential stimulated in gustatory neurons

Saliva has digestive functions that help food to be easily swallowed. We need saliva to taste foods because it dissolves the chemicals. The sense of taste is called gustation.
