How are the senses taste and smell different?
the sense of smell is, because if you cant smell then you cant taste
Do flies have taste buds?
No. Insects "taste" with their antennae - which can function to both taste and smell, but they don't have actual taste buds
Do house flies have taste buds?
No. Insects "taste" with their antennae - which can function to both taste and smell, but they don't have actual taste buds
Can student's identify fruit juices better with taste smell or both?
i think that student's would identify it better by smell the juices
How many catching a cold affect your sense of taste?
The sense of smell and taste are closely intertwined. When nasal congestion occurs during a cold, the taste you have can be affected to where you can only have the base tastes of salty, sweet, bitter, or sour.
How are the senses and taste and smell similar?
Both the sense of taste and the sense of smell detect the chemical composition of a substance through chemoreceptors.Taste is detected by the tongue in solids and in liquids, while smell is detected by the nose in airborn substances.

What are know as the 'chemical senses'?
Chemical senses are senses that require chemicals to stimulate them. Taste and smell are both chemical senses. All other senses are considered mechanical or electrical.

What two senses work together to influence the flavor of food?
The flavor of food is influenced by both smell and taste
How is taste and smell closely linked?
Taste and smell are two of our senses that are very much integrated with each other. As a matter of fact, these two senses share afferent pathways to the brain and therefore are influenced by the same stimuli. Both taste buds and olfactory bulbs are in a group of receptors known as chemoreceptors (they respond to chemical stimuli). In the case of smell, it's the aromatic gases released by substances that trigger a response. In the case of taste, it is the mixing of flavor chemicals with saliva in the mouth that triggers a response.
Is fruity a taste or smell?
Both. Something can smell like a fruit or it can taste like one.
Do fish have taste buds?
most do. [improved] All mammals have them. Lizards have them. Fish have them. Bugs have them. The "chemical senses" (smell and taste) are the oldest senses, in evolutionary terms. In some sense amoebas ARE taste buds: they sense particular chemicals and go towards them. In invertebrate animals (like insects), some cells are devoted to chemical senses, and those are the direct evolutionary equivalents of our taste buds. Tongues are a feature of vertebrates. Every vertebrate has a tongue, and every tongue has taste buds. They evolved from the chemical sensing cells in other animals. (If you don't like the evolutionary version of the story, let's just say that God decided that everybody needed chemical senses and stuck taste buds on the vertebrates and in fit of lack of imagination used the same structures as the chemical sensing cells on the invertebrates.) Different species have different taste buds specialized to the things they're most interested in. Cats don't taste sweetness and don't particularly require sweetness in their diet. Lots of species taste bitterness (some humans more strongly than others) both to avoid poisons and to detect medicines. But everybody's got them. Everybody has a sense of smell, too. Smell allows you to detect chemicals at a distance; taste is what's used right up close. The sense of smell draws finer distinctions, but isn't very good at detecting ions that have to be dissolved in water to detect, like saltiness, sweetness, or sourness. Not really my answer... I just needed to update the previous answer for you.

Why do animals need the smell sense?
Well, it depends on how you define the terms "taste" and "smell." The way most people use "taste," to mean the sensations experienced when eating a food or drinking a beverage, smell is definitely a large portion of the experience. If, however, you define the terms "taste" and "smell" more scientifically, so that taste refers to the sensations elicited by stimulation of the taste receptor cells and smell refers to the stimulation of olfactory neuron, then these are independent senses, both of which play an important role in the experiencing of foods and beverages. A more scientifically accurate statement would be that "Most of flavor is smell," where flavor is defined as the combination of sensations experienced when eating or drinking, especially, taste, smell, and chemesthesis.
