Q

Respiratory heat' is a term applied primarily to which of the following cargoes?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Respiration in perishable cargoes such as fruits and vegetables • Difference between chilled/fresh vs frozen cargo behavior • How heat is generated inside living or once-living plant products during carriage

💭 Think About

• Which cargoes are still ‘alive’ and breathing (taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide) during the voyage? • Does a truly frozen product continue biological activity that could generate its own heat? • Among the options, which type of cargo is most sensitive to ventilation and removal of carbon dioxide inside a cargo hold or reefer container?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which listed cargo types still have active respiration during carriage • Recall that frozen cargoes are kept below a temperature where normal biological processes continue • Think about which cargo requires careful ventilation to remove CO₂ and heat produced by the cargo itself
