Mangoes emit ethylene, and carrots are ethylene sensitive. what is most likely to happen if you store both of these together? a. both will be unaffected. b. both will rot. c. the carrots will rot. d. the mangoes will rot. e. other food items will rot.

Correct C. The carrots will rot.

This is the fact that fruits and vegetables have natural plant hormone called ethylene. The mangoes releases ethylene that can make the carrots rot prematurely for they are ethylene sensitive.

Moreover, this ethylene triggers cells to degrade, making fruits and vegetables become soft, droop or sweeter. So, to prevent this, keep ethylene-sensitive fruits and vegetables such as carrots, unripe bananas, asparagus and strawberries separate from varieties that emit the gas like mangoes, nectarines, potatoes and tomatoes.
