A newly harvested bunch of bananas is often placed inside a sack and kept in a storeroom why is it done explain how it works?

The bananas are placed in a storeroom in a bag because the bag traps air from coming near the bananas. The peel gives off a special gas that lets them ripen quicker and the gas cannot escape a sealed sack, being absorbed by the bananas. If a green banana is left in the bag its skin will make it ripen quicker as opposed to a banana left on the tree. A banana left in a paper bag with a green tomato will make the tomato turn red in a few days as opposed to left untouched, I love bananas.
