Question

Answer the following questions by typing the question number followed by the answer. Each question has a different answer. Thus, no answer can be used more than once. Also, please do not retype any part of the question. Simply provide the question number and the correct answer.

When a user first turns on a computer, a collection of programs that operate and control the computer (called the 1.____________) are loaded from the hard drive into a memory location that temporarily holds data while a program is open and running. This short-term memory location is called 2._______. Next, the user provides 3.__________ to the computer (usually by pressing keyboard buttons or clicking on the mouse).   The connectors located on the back of the computer that allow hardware devices (such as a mouse, keyboard, and speakers) to be plugged into the computer are called 4._________. The most common connector typed used by most hardware devices today is called a 5.___________. Once the data enters the computer, it moves across an electronic “freeway system” that allows data to travel from one system component to another. This “electronic freeway” is called the 6.__________. The component in the previous answer is located on the computer’s 7.__________, which is the main circuit board to which most internal devices are attached. Once data is loaded into RAM, it can be accessed by the 8._________, which is the component that performs the majority of the computer’s processing. Sometimes, instead of being accessed from RAM, data is accessed more quickly from 9.__________ memory, a group of fast memory chips that contain recently used data and instructions. Once data is processed the results are often displayed to the user via the monitor or printed paper. This displayed data (one of the four primary operations of a computer) is called 10.__________. The user often has an option of storing this data on devices such as a hard drive, CD, or flash drive.
