When fruits ripen, they need to breath. So when they are taking in oxygen they are letting out carbon dioxide. Oxygen is a big part of the chemical changes involved in ripening. Ripening Fruits let out more than just carbon dioxide, they give off a gas called ethylene. when you put a banana in a paper bag the ethylene is trapped in the bag, but oxygen can still get through, this will make the banana riped faster, not preserve it
