[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Both senses help animals navigate the world around them, but they differ in their mechanisms and stimuli. Smell, also known as olfaction, detects odors in the air using specialized receptors in the nose. These receptors are sensitive to chemical substances in the environment and help animals identify and locate food, mates, or predators. On the other hand, touch, or tactile sense, relies on the vibrations in antennae, hairs, or other sensory structures to detect physical contact with objects. This sense helps animals explore their surroundings, feel textures, and perceive temperature and pressure. Unlike smell, touch does not directly involve the detection of odors in the air.
