BTE 210: EXAM 1 EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS GUARANTEED PASS
Computer's Hardware - ANSWER ->The physical equipment
used for the input, processing, output, and storage activities of
a computer system
Central Processing Unit (CPU) - ANSWER ->manipulates the
data and controls the tasks performed by the other
components
Primary Storage - ANSWER ->temporarily stores data and
program instructions during processing
Secondary Storage - ANSWER ->stores data and programs for
future use
Input Technologies - ANSWER ->Accept data and instructions
and convert them to a form that the computer can understand
Output technologies - ANSWER ->present data and information
in a form people can understand
Communication technologies - ANSWER ->provide the flow of
data from external computer networks (Internet) to the CPU,
and from the CPU to computer networks
,Types of Servers - ANSWER ->Supercomputers, mainframe
computers
Supercomputers - ANSWER ->the fastest computers available at
any time.
Who uses supercomputers? - ANSWER ->Due to the high cost
they are generally used by large organizations (military,
scientific research) to execute computationally demanding
tasks involving large data
Mainframe Computers - ANSWER ->computers at the high end
of the performance and reliability scales and can handle
millions of transactions per day
Types of Clients - ANSWER ->microcomputers (desktop PCs),
laptops, tablets, wearable clients
Microcomputers - ANSWER ->the smallest and least expensive
category of general-purpose computers
Laptops - ANSWER ->small, easily transportable, lightweight
microcomputers
Tablets - ANSWER ->a complete computer contained entirely in
a flat touchscreen
Wearable clients - ANSWER ->apple watch
, Types of Primary Memory (main memory) - ANSWER ->register
memory, cache memory, random access memory (RAM), read
only memory (ROM)
Cache Memory - ANSWER ->Primary memory- High speed
memory that enables the computer to temporarily store blocks
of data that are used more frequently
Register Memory - ANSWER ->Primary Memory- part of the
CPU. Has the least capacity and stores data only immediately
before and after processing. located closer to CPU than the
RAM
Random Access Memory (RAM) - ANSWER ->Primary memory-
holds a software program and small amounts of data for
processing
Read only Memory (ROM) - ANSWER ->Primary Memory- type
of chip where certain critical instructions are held and retains
these instructions even when the computer is off
Types of Secondary Storage - ANSWER ->Magnetic tape,
magnetic discs, solid state drives (SSD), Optical storage devices,
Flash memory (memory cards)
Magnetic tape - ANSWER ->secondary storage- on a large open
reel or in a smaller cartridge or cassette
