Answer:

A banana ripening is a chemical change not only because it results in the darkening of the bananas skin, which is a change in color, but also because it changes the texture and taste of the banana on the inside to be softer and sometimes even sweeter!

Step-by-step explanation:

As a rule of thumb Chemical change: change in color, state (liquid to gas) or is ireversible like burning something. Physical change: Ripping a peice a paper or blowing a balloon up where it can be changed back and isnt permanent.
