Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

You have got some things that are complicated and you don't know much about them. Your
tongue is about 10 centimeters long. It is covered with taste buds. These are tiny nerve
endings, which enable you to taste your food. Babies are born with taste buds all over their
mouths. These gradually disappear as they grow older leaving only those on the tongue. An
adult has about 1.000 taste buds. We can taste our food when saliva, a liquid produced by
the mouth, dissolves chemicals in the food and washes them over taste buds. There are
four basic tastes: sweet, sour, salt and bitter. All the taste buds can detect all these tastes
to some extent, but different areas of the tongue detect different tastes best. Sweet tastes
such as sugar, are best detected by the taste buds at the tip of the tongue. Salt is detected
