Find the answers to the “Microsoft Rewards Bing Supersonic Quiz” for 5-6-2025. Discover surprising facts about taste buds and how they shape our food experiences.
Question 1: How often do taste buds regenerate?
- Every decade
- Every 1-2 weeks
- Every year
Answer: Every 1-2 weeks
Fact: Taste buds regenerate every 1 to 2 weeks. This means old taste bud cells die and are replaced by new ones quite regularly. That’s why your sense of taste can recover quickly if it gets affected. However, taste can still change with age or due to illness. So, while taste buds renew often, they may not always work the same over time.
Question 2: What taste can cats not detect?
- Sour
- Bitter
- Sweet
Answer: Sweet
Fact: Cats cannot detect sweet tastes. Unlike humans and some other animals, cats lack the taste receptors needed to sense sweetness. This is because their diet in the wild is mainly meat, which doesn’t require the ability to taste sugar. So, sweet foods don’t interest them.
Question 3: What part of the tongue is most sensitive to bitterness?
- Sides of the tongue
- Back of the tongue
- Tip of the tongue
Answer: Back of the tongue
Fact: The back of the tongue is most sensitive to bitterness. This area has more taste receptors that can detect bitter flavors. Bitter taste helps us avoid harmful or toxic substances. The tip of the tongue is more sensitive to sweet tastes, and the sides detect salty and sour flavors. Each part of the tongue can sense all tastes, but some areas are more sensitive to certain ones.
