Question

Aditya did the following experiment. He took 2 green bananas in a polythene cover and kept them aside on a shelf. Then he took 2 more green bananas from the same bunch of fruits, and an apple and put them in an identical polythene cover and kept on the same shelf. he left both polythene covers undisturbed for two days. what was hypothesis that Aditya was probably trying to check? options - a. in the nature bananas ripen completely in about 2 days, b. apples increase the speed at which bananas ripen, c. bananas increases the speed at which apples ripen, d. Polythene increases the speed at which apples ripen​

Answer 1

Answer:

correct answer "d"

Explanation:

Ethylene is the gas, which promotes ripening of fruits, because it acts on the walls of fruits (pectin cell wall) and makes it soft. Ethylene is responsible for the changes in texture, softening, color, and other processes involved in ripening. Thus ensures the easy ripening. Ethylene is the gas used by shopkeepers to make the fruits to ripen. Apples and pears are examples of fruit that produce ethylene with ripening. Thus, when raw banana is packed with ripe apple it ripens and turns yellow within a few days.

So, the correct answer is 'Releases ethylene which promotes ripening'

Answer 2

Answer: Option(d) is correct, polythene increases the speed at which applies ripen.

Explanation:

The gas ethylene works on the walls of fruits (the pectin cell wall) and softens them, promoting fruit ripening. The modifications in texture, softness, color, and other ripening processes are brought on by ethylene. This guarantees simple ripening. ethylene gas is known as the fruit ripening hormone, acceleration of fruit ripening takes place due to the accumulation of ethylene gas at high levels.

Shop owners utilize ethylene as a gas to hasten the ripening of their produce. Fruits that release ethylene when they ripen include apples and pears. So, when a raw banana is combined with a ripe apple, the banana quickly ripens and turns yellow.

A gaseous version of ethylene exists as a plant hormone. Produced by tissues going through senescence and ripening fruit. Not only does it aid in fruit ripening, but it also aids in seed germination, shoot and root growth, encourages senescence, and stimulates a plant's reproductive system, among other things.

Due to its functions, it is employed in the agricultural industry. It also assists with early seed germination and is used to boost fruit production by increasing the development of female flowers.
