It keeps them out of the air and the air makes them rot faster. It's just another way of preserving the bananas for longer.

What effect does a paper bag have on a banana?

Placing bananas in a paper bag or any other enclosed environment will hasten the ripening process. This is due to the fact that, as a banana ripens, it emits ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is essential in the ripening process. If you place bananas in a bag, the gas concentrates and the ripening process accelerates. Ethylene gas is what banana importers use to accelerate the ripening of bananas prior to sending them to market.

Do bananas ripen faster in a plastic bag or do they ripen faster when not in a plastic bag?

Bananas ripen quickly on their own as they're one of the few fruits that release ethene. Keeping them together in a plastic bag should make them ripen. Keep them away from other fruit that you don't want to go off, and if you want avocados to ripen put them in a brown paper bag with bananas in an airing cupboard.

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.
