BTE 210 Exam 1 Questions And 100% Correct Answers
Computer's Hardware - ANSWER Physical devices used for the input, processing,
output, and storage activities of a computer system
Central Processing Unit (CPU) - ANSWER Handles the data and controls the activities of
the other components
Primary Storage - ANSWER Temporary holding area for data and program instructions
while being processed
Secondary Storage - ANSWER Holds data and programs until the computer needs them
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 most powerful computers available at any point in time.
Who uses supercomputers? - ANSWER Because of the expense they are typically used
by large organizations, such as military and scientific research to run computationally
intensive operations with enormous data

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
