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
Ethylene gas causes produce to ripen. When ethylene gas is being produced you will notice the produce begin to ripen until it becomes overripe.
Apple, bananas, pears. A rotting fruit you'll find will give off more ethylene gas than a healthy fruit.
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
Ethylene is a Homogenuous mixture which means it doesn't produce water.
You are probably referring to ethylene and not ethanol. Fruits produce more ethylene as they age.
Ripening apples produce ethylene (C2H4), a plant growth hormone. The ethylene promotes the growth (ripening) of the banana. The paper bag stops the ethylene from dispersing -- it keeps the ethylene concentration high.
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.
Every plant is sensitive to ethylene gas. Ethylene is emitted when damage is done to a plant. It stimulates repair or ripening so that reproduction can take place before it's too late. Bananas are an example of this ripening effect. Put green bananas beside ripe ones and the ethylene ripens the green bananas faster than they would have ripened on the other side of the room. Ethylene ripens all fruit, tomatoes, pears etc. The same is true of flowers.

Almost all fruiting plants, it is the fruit ripening hormone.
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).
