the sweet and salty receptors are the weakest, while bitter is the most sensitive.

Your taste threshold is the lowest concentration of a solution that a person can still taste.
Taste receptor cells are modified epithelial cells.
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.

gustatorx receptor cell is a part of the taste bud,which recepts the taste.

why people have a different taste threshold from someone else or even have different density of receptors whithin our body? The receptor density is different. I think it's due to genetics bumping into environmental history. For example, I'd bet that flame swallowers have a reduced receptor density. Some people can taste X while others can't, and often the difference is due to genetics.

Conversion of a stimulus into a generator potential is a process that occurs in sensory receptors, where specific types of stimuli, such as light or pressure, are detected and transduced into electrical signals. This generator potential is the initial depolarization of the receptor cell that eventually leads to the generation of action potentials that transmit the sensory information to the brain.
Chemical energy in the form of molecules from food stimulates the receptors on the taste buds. These molecules interact with the taste cells in the taste buds, which then send electrical signals to the brain to interpret the taste.
The sense of taste depends on taste buds located on the tongue and other parts of the mouth, which contain receptors for different tastes - sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. When the taste receptors are activated by chemicals in food, they send signals to the brain which processes and interprets the taste sensation.
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.

subliminal threshold means the stimuli that are too weak or too brief to be consciously seen or heard may nevertheless be strong enough to be perceived one or more receptor cells.
