Information Technology (IT) - correct answer ✔Any computer-based tool
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



that people use to work with information and support the information and
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



information-processing needs of an organization
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




Central Processing Unit (CPU) - correct answer ✔Brain of the computer
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



that performs instructions defined by software
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




Hard Disk - correct answer ✔A data storage unit inside a computer that
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



can store a large quantity of data (60GB or more)
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




Input - correct answer ✔Data that is entered into the computer system via
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



an input or storage device.
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




Output - correct answer ✔Data that is send out of the computer.
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|

, Peripheral Device - correct answer ✔Devices that communicate with the
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



CPU but are not located directly on the motherboard(not part of the
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



computer), such as the monitor, floppy drive, printer, and mouse.
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




CPU Speed - correct answer ✔Measured in MHz (Megahertz) or GHz
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



(Gigahertz).
Also referred to as the CPU clock.
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




RAM Speed - correct answer ✔Measure in MHz or Bytes. This measured
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



the amount of time it takes the module to deliver a data request
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




CPU Functions - correct answer ✔Fetch, Decode, Execute and Store
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|




Fetch - correct answer ✔Each instruction is stored in memory and has its
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



own address. The processor takes this address number from the program
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



counter, which is responsible for tracking which instructions the CPU
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



should execute next. |!| |!|




Decode - correct answer ✔Decode: All programs to be executed are
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



translated to into Assembly instructions. Assembly code must be decoded
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



into binary instructions, which are understandable to your CPU. This step
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



is called decodin
|!| |!|




Execute - correct answer ✔While executing instructions the CPU can do
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



one of three things: Do calculations with its ALU, move data from one
|!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!| |!|



memory location to another, or jump to a different address.
