The phosphoric acid in the banana causes a chemical reaction with the copper and zinc. The reaction causes the electrons on the copper to strip off and attach to the hydrogen atoms in the phosphoric acids. The new potential difference (amount of pressure or electrons in one place of a conductor) causes the electrons to flow into the zinc, powering the clock in a cycle.

How does an apple power a clock?

An apple has the acidity in it that it needs to create energy, and so does a lemon, so if you were to try and get an apple to power a clock you would be doing the same thing that you would do to make a potato or a lemon or any other fruit or vegetable power a clock. Apples will work the same way with any other fruit or vegetable because all of the types of vegetables or fruit with acidity in them don't need their own preparation because all of those fruits and vegetables will create energy just like any other.
