Detailed Solution

The human tongue can identify five basic tastes - sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. The taste buds present on the tongue identify these tastes. The taste buds present in the front part of the tongue can sense both sweet and salty food. These receptors help recognise the taste as we consume some sweets and salty items. The presence of these receptors decides how food is tasted. The salt content can be tested using the tip of the tongue due to these taste buds on the tongue tip. The middle part of the tongue could feel a sour taste, and the inner part of the tongue can feel a bitter taste.
