Bananas ripen from green to yellow-green to yellow to slightly freckled to deeply freckled to bruised to black to rotten. A process called oxidation, starts. and it basically lets ethylene out of the fruit. The more ethylene that a fruit releases the more it ripens. The ethylene produces a gas called amylase which breaks down the starch in the bananas (starch is hard), and turns it into sugar, ( makes it soft.). Amylase then makes an enzyme that is called pectinase, which breaks down the cell walls of the banana (making it softer).

Do you mean why do bananas ripen quicker than most fruits, if that is your question, it''s because the inside of a banana is mushy and when the sun hits it the water inside evaporates and makes the fruit ripe.
