How do citrus fruits such as lemons cause the basic taste of sour?

A) The more acidic the food is, the more depolarization of the sensory receptor occurs. B) Ascorbic acid binds to sensory receptors on the plasma membrane of taste cells, which leads to the triggering of cellular activity that trigger a sour taste response. C) Sugars and ascorbic acid bind sensory receptors on the plasma membrane of taste cells, which leads to the triggering of cellular activity that trigger a sour taste response. D) Citric acid amplifies the sour taste of vitamin C when it binds to specialized receptors on the taste cells.

What is the likely outcome if you were able to force water through fish gills in the opposite direction to how it normally flows over the gills?  

A.  There would be no effect, and maximal oxygenation of blood would still occur. B.  The direction of blood flow would reverse through the gills to compensate for the reversed direction of water flow. C.  Gas exchange would be inhibited and movement of oxygen into the blood would cease. D.  The movement of carbon dioxide from the blood into the water would increase. E.  The blood's oxygen concentration would not be able to exceed 50%. Clarify Question What is the key concept addressed by the question?
