Question

PLEASE HELP!

Many of the fruits taste bitter and look green until their seeds are fully mature such as in bananas and tomatoes. As the seeds mature, the fruit ripens and becomes sweet.
1. Explain what is actually happening when the fruit is ripening and becomes sweeter.
2. How might this change in taste(sweetness) improve the plant's chances of successfully reproducing and carrying out other life processes?

Answer 1

During ripening, there is an increase in the breakdown of starch inside the fruit. The corresponding increase in the number of simple sugars which taste sweet, such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose. This process is particularly obvious in bananas as they ripen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Light shining on fruit could increase the temperature in that fruit's path. If the light results in a favorable temperature, the fruit ripens.
