Final Answer :

Taste is a chemical sense that involves the detection of molecules in the mouth that stimulate receptors on the taste buds. Kinesthesia is related to bodily movement and position, equilibrium relates to balance and spatial orientation, and pain is a different type of sensation altogether.
