Question 1
Points: 0 out of 10
What is a system unit? a case containing the electronic components of the computer used to process data a device that interprets and carries out the basic instructions used to operate the computer a component of the processor that directs and coordinates most computer operations a circuit board to which many electronic components are attached
Feedback
Incorrect. The component that directs and coordinates most computer operations is the control unit.
Question 2
Points: 10 out of 10
A/an is inserted on the motherboard and provides more memory or controls a peripheral device such as a graphics adapter that supports video games.
Feedback
Correct. Common expansion cards include graphic/video cards, sound cards, network cards, and memory boards that allow additional RAM to be added to the system.
Question 3
Points: 0 out of 10
The ALU coordinates the operations completed within the CPU. holds data temporarily during processing. performs basic calculation and comparison operations. controls the timing of the processing completed by the CPU.
Feedback
Incorrect. The coordination of operations is the function of the control unit within the CPU.
Question 4
Points: 10 out of 10
Peripherals such as USB devices are connected to the computer through
Feedback
Correct. Ports are on the outside of the computer case. Cables, cords and USB-type devices are plugged into ports.
Question 5
Points: 10 out of 10
Which component controls the timing of all computer operations? the memory modules the CPU the system clock the ALU
Feedback
Correct. The system clock is the quartz crystal circuit that controls the timing of computer operations.
Question 6
