Bananas and Plantains

Ripe bananas are typically yellow, although some varieties like plantains may have a different color when ripe. The peel may also have some brown speckles or patches when fully ripe.

Over the course of its life the banana plant will actually move away from its original location a few inchs in one direction, this gives it the reputation of being able to walk. On the lighter side Yes. But only if there are two of them attached to each other, an if they are infested by mice ore possessed by a demon. Also, banana man from the "Dandy" comics can walk. Go figure.

Banana peels can be used to create a natural dye with a yellowish hue. To make the dye, you would need to char the banana peels, grind them into a powder, and then soak them in water. However, the color may not be long-lasting or intense compared to synthetic dyes.

Banana plants are typically propagated through rhizomes or suckers, rather than seeds. Bananas from seeds may not produce fruit or may have unpredictable traits due to genetic variation. It's more common and reliable to grow banana plants from existing plants or rhizomes.

stem cells are useful because in young embryo's stem cells can change into virtually any type of cell in the body. this means that if, in theory, they are given to people who are ill and who's bodies have been damaged in some way, to act a s a kind of repair kit for the body.

The Monkey Banana and Water Spray Experiment

The experiment is not real.

A vaguely similar experiment by Stephenson (1966) is often quoted as if it supports the story, but it does not. The results of that real experiment do not in any way support the "herd mentality" moral of the story; in some cases, they actively contradicts it.

This is how it is commonly told:

"The Experiment- Part 1

5 monkeys are locked in a cage, a banana was hung from the ceiling and a ladder was placed right underneath it.

As predicted, immediately, one of the monkeys would race towards the ladder, to grab the banana. However, as soon as he would start to climb, the researcher would spray the monkey with ice-cold water.

but here's the kicker- In addition, he would also spray the other four monkeys.

When a second monkey tried to climb the ladder, the researcher would, again, spray the monkey with ice-cold water, As well as the other four watching monkeys;

This was repeated again and again until they learned their lesson

Climbing equals scary cold water for EVERYONE so No One Climbs the ladder.

The Experiment- Part 2

Once the 5 monkeys knew the drill, the researcher replaced one of the monkeys with a new inexperienced one. As predicted, the new monkey spots the banana, and goes for the ladder. BUT, the other four monkeys, knowing the drill, jumped on the new monkey and beat him up. The beat up new guy thus Learns- NO going for the ladder and No Banana Period- without even knowing why! and also without ever being sprayed with water!

These actions get repeated with 3 more times, with a new monkey each time and ASTONISHINGLY each new monkey- who had never received the cold-water Spray himself (and didn't even know anything about it), would Join the beating up of the New guy.

This is a classic example of Mob Mentality- bystanders and outsiders uninvolved with the fight- join in 'just because'.

When the researcher replaced a third monkey, the same thing happened; likewise for the fourth until, eventually, all the monkeys had been replaced and none of the original ones are left in the cage (that had been sprayed by water).

The Experiment- Part 3

Again, a new monkey was introduced into the cage. It ran toward the ladder only to get beaten up by the others. The monkey turns with a curious face asking "why do you beat me up when I try to get the banana?"

The other four monkeys stopped and looked at each other puzzled (None of them had been sprayed and so they really had no clue why the new guy can't get the banana) but it didn't matter, it was too late, the rules had been set. And So, although they didn't know WHY, they beat up the monkey just because " that's the way we do things around here"

There is no evidence that that this experiment ever took place. An experiment was done in 1966 that involved pairs of monkeys but the results are irrelevant to the above story. Some of the results actually contradict the story: in some pairs, the new monkey behaved so fearlessly around the object that the first monkey learned to lose their fear of it altogether.

There is actually no pefix for banana, sorry.

Scientific names are all in Latin, and are not in different languages.

A berry because it has lots of small seeds

The scientific name of nendran banana is Musa paradisiaca.

The scientific name for banana blossom is Musa paradisiaca.

The scientific names of bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana or hybrids Musa acuminata × balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific names Musa sapientum and Musa paradisiaca are no longer used.

"A Perfect Day for Bananafish" was a short story written by Salinger. It was originally published in the New Yorker on January 31, 1948.

yes by Jack Prelutsky

We're forty performing bananas,

in bright yellow slippery skins,

our features are rather appealing,

though we've neither shoulders nor chins,

we cha-cha, fandango, and tango,

we kick and we skip and we hop,

while half of us belt out a ballad,

the rest of us spin like a top.

We're forty performing bananas,

we mambo, we samba, we waltz,

we dangle and swing from the ceiling,

then turn very slick somersaults,

people drive here in bunches to see us,

our splits earn us worldly renown,

we're forty performing bananas,

come see us when you are in town.

yes just like this. A long time ago, when the world was young

Someone put some food on their tonge

They tasted the food, and thought it was nice

Most fruit liked it - but banana's thought twice. They held a meeting at quarter past eight

Whilst the human's were getting home late

They decided they didn't want to be eaten

they said "No way, we're not going to be beaten" So time went by, and human's got old

Banana's got ready, for their prophets had told

That soon shall come the dawn of war.

Where humans will rule the earth no more. The humans knew not of the evil banana's plans

They made their cars, guitars and aluminum cans

And the banana's began to take over the east

While humans knew not, and kept having their feast. But time has run out, no more hiding there can be

Or else the banana's will kill George, you and me

We must take up arms, and fight to the end

Because, believe it or not, a banana is not a friend.

Bananas are not traditionally associated with a specific season, as they are available year-round in many parts of the world. Unlike some fruits that have distinct growing seasons and may be more abundant or flavorful during certain times of the year, bananas are grown in tropical and subtropical regions where the climate allows for year-round cultivation.

Bananas are a popular and versatile fruit that can be found in grocery stores and markets regardless of the season. Their availability is less influenced by seasonal changes than fruits that are more regionally specific.

So, while bananas may not be considered winter fruit in the traditional sense, they are enjoyed and consumed consistently throughout the year in various climates.

THE ANSWER IS NO! Because i bought 1 bunch of bananas (not ripe) and the second day, all bananas has ripen except for one banana. On the third day (today), the one special banana is still superb green, with other being over-ripen.

After the monkey gets the banana it makes it's noises...ooh ooh...ahh ahh

yes, bananas are good for dogs if you can get them to eat them! vet told me anything good for our bodies is pretty much good for them.

yes you can i recently caught some baby frogs and some baby toads and im gunna feeed them fish food

Maybe................:)
