The taste which we can detect already at very small concentrations is salty taste.

The reason why we have a special affinity for tasting bitter things. The reason why we can taste bitter things at extremely low concentrations is because potentially dangerous compounds can be bitter and it made evolutionary sense for organisms to adapt to taste bitter things.

The correct answer is bitter.

People have very strong negative reactions when it comes to a bitter taste. Most of the substances like toxins have bitter taste. The ability of the taste buds to taste the bitter substances shows evolutionary history. The taste has evolved because most of the substances that are harmful to the human beings are bitter in taste. The substances such as alkaloids, drugs, medicines, quinine, caffeine and nicotine have bitter taste. These tastes are not very common to the taste buds so they are detected at very low concentrations.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

every muscle cell of the motor unit is stimulated to contract.

Explanation:

Stimulus in biology can be defined as an obvious change in either the chemical or physical structure of an organism' environment (either external or internal). Thus, all living organisms (both animals and plants) respond to changes in their environment and consequently, an appropriate response or reaction is made. Also, stimulus arising from within the organism is known as internal stimulus while those from its environment are known as the external stimulus.

In organisms, the specialized cells that detect stimulus are generally known as sensory receptors while a group of these receptors is referred to as sense organ. Therefore, the senses are necessary for behavior because stimuli must be sensed in order to respond.

Stimulus control can be defined as a phenomenon that arises when a living organism responds or behaves in the presence of a stimulus and in another way in the absence of a stimulus.

For example, opening the door of a microwave oven as soon as its timer beeps.

Example II; When your body touches a hot object, you quickly move away and feel some pain subsequently.

Action potentials generates the nerve impulse in a motor neuron.

When an action potential is generated within a motor neuron, every muscle cell of the motor unit is stimulated to contract.
