ELI5: When you cut a banana the join is wet, but when you break a banana the join is dry. Why?
gpt
When you cut something you almost always cell rip apart cells in the process.  When you break a banana, it tends to break along planes of weakness, which means the space between cells.  Since you rupture much fewer cells, there isn’t as much water to spill out of the cell interior (cytosol).  That’s why the broken banana is more dry around the break than a cut banana is around a cut, all other things equal.
