What effect does ethylene gas have on produce?
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
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.
What is the function of ethylene?
It depends upon process under consideration ethylene or ethene is an anaesthetic gas used in hospitals.
What do plants produce during the first stage of photosynthesis?
They produce oxygen gas during the light reactions.

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 relationship between ethylene gas and senescence?
Ethylene act as a hormone of senescence for plants.
How do bananas breathe?
Bananas do not breathe, nor live at all. But they produce carbon dioxide and ethylene gas when they are ripening.
How does ethylene gas accelerate the ripening of a banana?
Ethylene gas is a plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening in many plants. The plants start producing ethylene themselves to synchronize ripening of all the fruit on the tree at the same time. Humans use ethylene gas to allow them to pick unripe fruit (which will survive better in transportation over long distances than ripe fruit could) and trigger ripening at the destination shortly before selling the fruit to the public.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Do all ripening fruit release ethylene gas?
no, but most do.
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
