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.

Can you describe the analogy of Buying Green Bananas?
If you buy green bananas they will be ready to eat in about 3-5 days, so if your going on a 4 day trip you can eat your once green bananas when you get home; otherwise I have no clue except that they are harder than regular bananas. What if your "trip" is dying, so you won't ever be coming home to eat your once green bananas? Is that what it means?
What are bananas sprayed with to accelerate ripening?
Bananas are not sprayed with anything, at least not anything in a liquid form. In order to accelerate the ripening process, banana are placed in a room and subjected to ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is naturally released by bananas and other fruit, which causes the ripening process. Placing green bananas in commercial ethylene gas does faster what nature would do if the fruit were left on the tree. This allows for the shipment of green bananas over long distances without concern for early ripening before reaching market.
Why do yellow bananas have a different density than green bananas?
Well yellow bananas are ripened bananas. Just like any other fruit a ripened banana is less dense than a green, unripened one.
