K201 Q&A
the "main board" or "motherboard" that controls communications for the entire computer
system. it acts as a data path and traffic monitor, allowing the various components to
communicate efficiently with one another. - (correct answer)system board
large flat circuit board covered with a variety of different electronic components
including sockets, slots, and bus lines - (correct answer)system board
provide a connection point for small specialized electronic parts called chips - (correct
answer)sockets
consist of tiny circuit boards etched onto squares of sandlike material called silicon.
these circuit boards can be smaller than the tip of your finger. - (correct answer)chips
a chip is also called a - (correct answer)silicon chip, semiconductor, or integrated circuit
chips typically are mounted onto - (correct answer)chip carriers
are used to connect the system board to a variety of difference types of chips, including
microprocessor and memory chips - (correct answer)sockets
provide a connection point for specialized cards or circuit boards - (correct answer)slots
connecting lines called ______ provide pathways that support communication among
the various electronic components that are either located on the system board or
attached to the system board - (correct answer)bus lines
the system board found on a desktop is _____ than that found on a laptop, and much
______ than one found on a tablet or a mobile device. - (correct answer)larger
larger
, is contained on a single chip called the microprocessor. - (correct answer)the central
processing unit (CPU) or processor
is the "brains" of the computer system. it has two basic components: the control unit and
the arithmetic-logic unit - (correct answer)microprocessor
the _____ unit tells the rest of the computer system how to carry out a program's
instructions. it directs the movement of electronic signals between memory, which
temporarily holds data, instructions, and processed information, and the arithmetic-logic
unit. it also directs these control signals between the CPU and input and output devices.
- (correct answer)control unit
the _____ unit performs two types of operations: arithmetic and logical. - (correct
answer)arithmetic-logic unit
are the fundamental math operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. -
(correct answer)arithmetic operations
consist of comparisons such as whether one item is equal to, less than, or greater than
the other. - (correct answer)logical operations
a ______ is the number of bits that can be accessed at one time by the CPU. - (correct
answer)word
the more bits in a word, the ____ data a computer can process at one time. - (correct
answer)more
___ bits group together to form a byte - (correct answer)8
a 32-bit-word computer can access ___ bytes at a time. - (correct answer)4
