Rolling Bag

what about a brown paper bag turns a tomato red?
I know (from a lot of sources and personal experience) that putting a green tomato (with a little of its top thing and leaves) in a brown paper bag and rolling the top will help turn the tomatoes red after a couple days.
But what exactly is it about the brown paper bag that causes it to turn red?
Does it have to be a brown bag, or would it really work with any bag?
Why does it have to be one tomato per bag?
Just curious questions I had after picking a new batch of them from the garden.
Tomatoes and many other fruits give off ethylene gas, which is a ripening agent. You use a paper bag to keep in the gas but still allow the moisture to escape.
