∙ 9y agoAir is not actually a single thing, but a mixture of many different types of molecules. The molecules that are in air can change from day to day or from place to place. In some instances, you can actually taste or smell air, or at least certain molecules in it. You can feel it when the air moves, because the molecules are moving across your skin. The faster they move, the more you can feel them. When you stand in front of a fan, the higher the speed setting, the more forceful the air feels against you.

Does sense of smell and sight affect food taste?
Most of the time, what we call taste is intrinsicially tied to smell. Traditionally taste has only 4 measurable concepts: salty, sweet, sour, bitter. Some cultures regard savoriness and piquance as major taste experiences, and taste buds can also detect fatty acids as a distinct flavor.Taste also determines texture and temperature.Smell is capable of a much wider variance because it detects actual chemical molecules released into the air, and further refines them (as does taste) by their intensity (or molecular concentration).Smell and TasteThe ability to distinguish various foods relies predominantly on the sense of smell. This explains why foods seem to have little taste for a person who is suffering from a head cold. The taste and smell of appetizing foods prepare the digestive tract for digestion by stimulating the flow of saliva in the mouth and gastric juice in the stomach. Our chemorecptors used for both taste and smell adapt quickly to any stimulus. One reason Americans may be becoming more obese as a population is that we serve too much food in one course. It is usually the case that we actually stop tasting our food after the 3rd or 4th bite, but we don't realize it because we are still smelling it. The nasal cavity and oral cavity are closely connected, separated only by the palate. So it makes sense that the two senses go hand in hand.An ExperimentI recently did a science experiment for the school science fair. My results said that what you smell does affect what you taste. I had people eat starburst candy while smelling vanilla extract. The majority of the people said that the smell of the vanilla made the starburst taste odd. Others couldn't even taste while they were smelling the vanilla.

Well both are, or at least can be, passages for both food and air. Also our sense of smell greatly refines our sense of taste beyond bitter, salty, sweet, and sour.
How do the senses of smell and taste function?
75% of taste is contributed by smell. "Think about when you've a cold. You've got this stuffed up nose. I mean, what did things taste like? Not so great," says Karen Kalumuck a biologist at San Francisco's Exploratorium, "That's really because we can't have the odorant molecules meet up with the sensory receptors in the nose and transmit that information to the brain."
Describe how your senses of hearing and tasteing and smell workna?
Here is a description of how hearing, tasting, and smell work. Sounds waves travel from the air to our ears. While in the ear, they go through small tunnels about 25 ml long to the eardrum which vibrates and causes us to hear. We taste things because our tongues are covered with thousands of tiny bumps called taste buds. Taste buds on different parts of our tongue cause us to taste sour, bitter, salty, sweet and bitter. Food chemicals make our taste buds work, and nerves in our tongue send messages to our brain to let us know what we are tasting. The sense of smell occurs because the nerves inside our nose bring messages to our brain about what we are smelling. Our brain lets us know what we have smelled.

What smell does neon have?
Neon is an inert gas, or a noble gas. As such, it does not react chemically with anthing. The taste buds cannot distinguish it because they will not respond to its shape. And, because it doesn't react with anything, no "secondary" taste will allow it to be identified by taste. It is tasteless. And odorless, too. The olfactory senses don't react to its presence.
