Use this scenario to answer the question.
After eating half of a banana as a snack, you decide to save the rest for later. There are two types of plastic wrap in your
house, and you use one to cover the banana. In an hour, you return and find that your banana half has browned
significantly despite being saved in plastic wrap. You discover that one of the plastic wraps is made of polyvinyl, and the
other is made of polyethylene.
Which plastic wrap could have caused this browning effect, and why?
(1 point)
The polyvinyl wrap probably caused the browning since it traps ethylene gas which would speed up the
ripening process.
O
The polyethylene wrap probably caused the browning since it contains ethylene which would speed up the
ripening process

Ethylene gas is responsible for the ripening of bananas. Hence, The polyethylene wrap probably caused the browning since it contains ethylene which would speed up the  ripening process.

Banana produces ethylene gas naturally which assists in the ripening process. This gas is also produced inside a polyethylene wrap.

This implies that ripening will speed up in a polyethylene wrap causing the banana to become brown after some time. This brown color was caused by excess ethylene gas from the polyethylene bag.
