Answer:

Hormones communicate between plants and signal to ripen further  the release of ethylene helps in this ripening as well.

Explanation:

  • When a green banana is placed closely to a brown banana it will ripen more quickly and would turn yellow  because the brown banana releases a chemical called ethylene.
  • Ethylene is gaseous is nature and is thus, able to affect plants that lie close to it and this is the reason why ethylene is known as a fruit ripening hormone.
  • The amount of ethylene increases in fruits as the fruit further ripens and hence, when placed next to a brown banana the green banana will ripen more quickly and turn yellow.
