Why is an apple needed in a brown bag when you want to ripen bananas?

When you want to ripen a banana quicker why is an apple needed when you put it in a paper bag? I need this for a project I'm doing so please answer. Thank you! :)
 
If you want to ripen a banana faster than they would on your countertop/table, the apple in a paper bag works. The apple releases ethylene gas, which causes fruit to ripen. Enclosing the banana in the bag with the apple concentrates the gas inside the bag.
 
It think you have it backwards.
To hasten an apple's ripening, you should place it in a bag with bananas.
Bananas release ethylene gas - a lot of it.
In plants, ethylene gas acts as a hormone, and one of its functions is to hasten fruit ripening.
