Find out the false statements and rewrite them as correct ones. (AS 1)

Saliva helps the taste buds in taste sensation.

False

Saliva does not help the taste buds in taste sensation. Saliva only works as a liquid medium that helps in transporting food from mouth to the stomach via esophagus. When we eat something, we press the food against the palate with our tongue which releases chemicals in food thus triggering the taste buds to carry the sensation to brain which detects the taste.
