ethylene gas is a gas that plants produce to help them grow and age faster
sometimes too much ethylene gas can result to over ripening (rotting)
to reduce over ripening, put your produce in a cold area such as the fridge because the cold slows down the production of ethylene gas

Do all plants produce Ethylene gas?
Almost all fruiting plants, it is the fruit ripening hormone.
What the effect of ethylene?
Ethylene is a plant hormone that increases the speed of plant growth and ripening
What is the relationship between ethylene gas and senescence?
Ethylene act as a hormone of senescence for plants.
Does ethylene gas help speed up the growth of plants?
No, a high amount of Ethylene gas will result in stunted growth and flower drop. It does speed up the ripening on the mature fruit. Some growers harvest fruit green then use ethylene gas to artificially ripen the fruit.
How inductive effect is created in ethylene glycol?
The inductive effect is created through
What is observed when ethylene gas is produced?
Ethylene gas causes produce to ripen. When ethylene gas is being produced you will notice the produce begin to ripen until it becomes overripe.
What is the source of ethylene gas in a plant?
a side effect of fruit ripening
Is polymer grade ethylene same as the polyethylene?
No, it's not the same thing. Ethylene is a gas used to produce polyethylene (solid). "Polymer grade" is just a purity label for ethylene gas, means that this ethylene is pure enough to be used in polyethylene (or other polymer) production.
Technically How Do Green Bags Work?
The green bags are made out of a material called zeolite. The zeolite has a porous microstructure that allows it to trap different kinds of molecules. In the case of most produce, ethylene gas is emitted and stays stagnant near the surface of the fruit or vegetable. The ethylene gas is what causes produce to wilt and rot. The zeolite in the green bags captures the ethylene gas with in its microstructure so it can't harm the produce. Eventually, the zeolite becomes saturated with the ethylene gas and renders it ineffective. Another concern with green bags is that the produce must be completely dry before being placed in the green bags. This is because water molecules can also be captured by the zeolite, reducing the amount of open sites to capture the ethylene gas.
Can gas apple produce?
yes it can the gas produced by a ripe apple can ripen another fruit such as pears,bananas,tomatoes,and mangoesand other kinds of fruit.scientist call this gas ethylene
What gas does rotting vegetables produce?
ethylene oxide, amylases, and proteases How does rotting fruit produce these gases? well,when fruits rot they decompose by givingb off gas. so they produce gases by decompostion. Bananns have the most gas
How do bananas breathe?
Bananas do not breathe, nor live at all. But they produce carbon dioxide and ethylene gas when they are ripening.
Do all plants produce Ethylene gas?
Almost all fruiting plants, it is the fruit ripening hormone.
What is the name of the gas used in gas sterilization?
The gas commonly used in gas sterilization is ethylene oxide (EtO).
Why do fruits placed inside a cabinet ripen faster than if placed inside a refrigerator?
All fruit produce ethylene gas as they ripen. Ethylene also makes fruit ripen in return. A fridge cools and contracts ethylene, while a cabinet does not (Boyles Law).
What effect does a paper bag have on a banana?
Placing bananas in a paper bag or any other enclosed environment will hasten the ripening process. This is due to the fact that, as a banana ripens, it emits ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is essential in the ripening process. If you place bananas in a bag, the gas concentrates and the ripening process accelerates. Ethylene gas is what banana importers use to accelerate the ripening of bananas prior to sending them to market.
What does example of ethylene gas?
J&J gas
