INSY 2303 EXAM 1 UTA QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) ALREADY
GRADED A+
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding ) Ans✓✓✓A file format that provides
highly compressed audio files with very little loss of sound quality and
is promoted by Apple on its iTunes Web site.
ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) Ans✓✓✓The part of the CPU that
performs arithmetic and logical operations on the numbers stored in its
registers.
ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network)
Ans✓✓✓One of the first packet switching computer networks using
TCP/IP, and the prototype for the Internet.
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
Ans✓✓✓A code that represents characters as a series of 1s and 0s. Most
computers use ASCII code to represent text, making it possible to
transfer data between computers.
Bandwidth Ans✓✓✓The data transmission capacity of a
communications channel. Digital signals are measured in bits per
second; analog signals in hertz.
Binary Ans✓✓✓The representation of data using two states, such as off-
on or 1-0.
, BMP (file Extension .bmp) Ans✓✓✓The native bitmap graphics file
format of Microsoft Windows.
BN (Backbone Network) Ans✓✓✓high-speed network that connects
many networks.
Broadband Ans✓✓✓A term used to refer to communications channels
that have bandwidth that equals or exceeds 25 Mbps.
CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) Ans✓✓✓A general-purpose
microprocessor chip designed to handle a wider array of instructions
than a RISC chip.
Compression Types Ans✓✓✓lossy and lossless
Core Ans✓✓✓A core is part of a CPU that receives instructions and
performs calculations, or actions, based on those instructions. A set of
instructions can allow a software program perform a specific function.
Processors can have a single core or multiple cores.
CPU (Central Processing Unit) Ans✓✓✓The main processing circuitry,
or "chip," within a computer that contains the ALU, control unit, and
registers.
