One aspect of ethylene is that it is a plant growth hormone that causes fruit to mature.
Chemically it is a hydrocarbon (alkene) with the formula H4C2 (structurally H2C=CH2). The double bond between the carbons makes it easy to react in the formation of many chemical compounds.
What else can I help you with?
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 name of the gas used in gas sterilization?

What is the physical state of ethylene at room temp?

What is the relationship between ethylene gas and senescence?
Ethylene act as a hormone of senescence for plants.
What fruit releases the most ethylene?
Apple, bananas, pears. A rotting fruit you'll find will give off more ethylene gas than a healthy fruit.
What is ethylene scrubber?
An ethylene scrubber is a device used to remove ethylene gas from the air. Ethylene gas is given off by fruits, flowers, and plants as they ripen, and can cause premature ripening in nearby produce. The scrubber helps to prolong the freshness of fruits and vegetables by reducing ethylene levels in storage areas.
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 gas do strawberries give off?
Ethylene
Is there ethylene gas in a banana peel?
why yes, yes there is. The gas substance from the banana is ethylene, but the sugar content fructose helps. That why a banana tastes like it does.
What gas does fruit omit when it begins to ripen?
I am not sure if this applies to all fruits but in Food Inc. they used ethylene gas on unripened tomatoes so that when they do reach grocery stores and markets they are ripe and ready for consumption.
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.
