Solution

The reason for the increased sweetness in the taste of the bag of bananas after two days is C. conversion of starch into sugar.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. Bananas, like many other fruits, naturally contain starches and sugars. When bananas are green and unripe, they contain more starch than sugar.

  2. As bananas ripen, a process triggered by the release of the hormone ethylene, the starches they contain are converted into sugars. This is known as starch hydrolysis.

  3. This process continues over several days, which is why bananas become sweeter as they ripen. After two days, a significant amount of the starch in the bananas would have been converted into sugar, making them taste sweeter.

  4. Therefore, the increased sweetness in the bananas after two days is due to the conversion of starch into sugar, not the aging of the bananas, exposure to sunlight, or the conversion of green color into yellow color.
