How does starch delays the ripening of banana?
Placing a banana in a refrigerator will stop the ripening process, and doing so will prevent the further ripening of the fruit, even after it has been removed from the refrigerator. Therefore, store the fruit in a refrigerator only after it has reached the desired stage of ripeness. The skin of a banana turns brown or black faster in the refrigerator, but the banana meat itself does not ripen that much more. In fact, it is recommended that ripened bananas be frozen to preserve them even longer. The cold temperature of a refrigerator encourages an enzyme (polyphenyl oxidase), which is naturally found in the banana, to polymerise phenols in the banana skin into polyphenols. Polyphenols are similar to melanin, the pigment responsible for the color in our skin. This is what blackens the skin of the bananas. Despite the color, the cold temperature will keep bananas firmer than a banana that has been left at room temperature for the same amount of time. The enzymes that break the starch into sugar, which makes the banana soft and ripe, work better at room temperature.
Do bananas really ripen faster left in a plastic bag?
As a banana ripens, it gives off ethylene gas. This gas is instrumental in the ripening process. In fact, it is this same gas that is used by banana importers to accelerate banana ripening once the bananas are ready to go to market. By placing bananas in a paper bag, you are concentrating the gas that is emitted from the fruit. As the concentration increases and the ripening process accelerates, more gas is emitted faster. Essentially, you have a chain reaction taking place -- more ripening means more gas, which means more ripening, and so forth.

Why does a banana's skin look like it is still green while the inside is ripening?
A green banana is not a ripe banana. It is still edible, but it is not fully ripe, and it will eventually turn yellow and get sweeter and softer. Having said that, if bananas are exposed to cold temperatures for several hours the ripening process will be irreversibly stopped. This might explain why you can get bananas at the supermarket that are slightly green but will not ripen an further once you get them home. In all likelihood, they were exposed to prolonged cold temperatures during shipment and/or storage.There are seven stages of ripeness. See Related questionsfor the different stages and the appearance of each stage.

What is tableau in drama terms?
A tableaux is a frozen image, where all performers on stage are frozen. The difference from a frozen image is, is that when forming a tableaux, performers move from different parts of the stage one at a time to form an image which develops as each person enters it. As a drama student, I know this is right.
