1. Processor is an eectronic component on a computer?s motherboard that interprets and
carries out the basic instructions that operate the computer.
=a> 5ame the two components of a processor.
#ontrol $nit (#$) and Arithmetic and %ogic $nit (A%$)
=b> Based on your gi+en answer in =a>7 state the functions of each components.
ALU
"he arithmeticlogic unit (A%$) contains the electronic circuitry that e&ecutes
all arithmetic and logical operations'
"he arithmeticlogic unit can perform four kinds of arithmetic operations or
mathematical calculations addition subtraction multiplication and division'
"he arithmeticlogic unit also performs logical operations' A logical
operation is usually a comparison' "he unit can compare numbers letters or
special characters'
CU
"he control unit contains circuitry that uses electrical signals to direct theentire computer system to carry out or e&ecute stored program instructions'
"he control unit does not e&ecute program instructions; rather it directs
other parts of the system to do so' "he control unit must communicate withboth the arithmeticlogic unit and memory'
2. %ost computers are digita and recognie ony two discrete states: off => and on =1>.
3o represent these states7 computer use the binary system.
Based on the abo+e statement7 answer the foowing <uestions.
=a> Define bit and byte.
A bit is the smallest unit of data a computer can process' *yte is formed when + bits are grouped together as a unit' (Additional ,nfo ,t
provides enough different combinations of -s and .s to represent /01 individual
characters')

1. Based on the diagram beow7 answer the foowing <uestions.
=a> 'pain two differences of and 4.
Answer:
Primary Storage
#omputer memory also known as primary storage is closely related to the
central processing unit but separate and distinct from it'
Memory holds the data after it is input to the system and before it is
processed; Memory holds the data after it has been processed but before it has been
released to the output device'
,n addition memory holds the programs (computer instructions) needed by
the central processing unit' Memory can hold data only temporarily because
it re4uires a continuous flow of electric current; if the current is interruptedthe data is lost'
Secondary Storage
Secondary storage provides additional storage separate from memory'
Recall that memory holds data and programs only temporarily; thus there is a
need for secondary storage' "he two most common secondary storage media
are magnetic disks and magnetic tape'

=b> Fi+e two characteristics of E.
RAM is usually volatile' ,ts contents are lost once the power is shut off'
RAM can be erased or written over at will by the computer software'
=c> 'pain two differences of E and @.
RAM : Stands for Random Access Memory' Also called main memory or
primary storage; "he more RAM a computer has the faster it responds; 3ata in memory can be accessed randomly no matterwhere it is in an easy and speedy manner' RAM is usually volatile this
means that its contents are lost once the power is shut off' RAM can be
erased or written over at will by the computer software'
ROM : Read6only memory (R7M) contains programs and data that are
permanently recorded into this type of memory at the factory; they can be
read and used but they cannot be changed by the user' !or e&le a personal computer probably has a program for calculating s4uare roots in
R7M' R7M is nonvolatile 66 its contents do not disappear when the power is
turned off'

=b> #eferring to your answer on =a>7 gi+e two differences between the two
appication software.
8ord processing software lets you create edit format store and
print te&t and graphics in one document'
A word processing program is an office application that enables users
to create edit format and print te&tual documents'
A spreadsheet is a program that processes information in the form of grid of columns and rows'
Spreadsheet are indispensable tools for anyone who works withnumbers'
