Although there are specialized cells-both in structure and function-within the body, all cells have similarities in their structural organization and metabolic needs (such as maintaining energy levels via conversion of carbohydrate to ATP and using genes to create and maintain proteins).
Method 1 of 2: In a Paper Bag. 1. Gather a brown paper bag, the bananas you wish to ripen and an apple or tomato. By placing the bananas in a brown paper bag with another fruit, you will maximize the amount of ethylene gas released.Ethylene gas is the substance fruit produces as it ripens.ethod 1 of 2: In a Paper Bag. 1.

This is because the starch in the bananas converts into sugar only upon ripening. Usually once the banana starts ripening, it may have a sugar content of about 20 percent, while an unripe banana may have a sugar content of only 2 percent. The unripe banana can be cooked like potatoes and eaten. It can be boiled or roasted or even fried. It can also be dried and used as flour after it is ground.
