Question 1

Read-only memory (ROM)provides temporary optical storage for data and instructions on discs.

Accepted Answer

Read-only memory (ROM) is actually non-volatile and provides permanent storage for data and instructions, rather than temporary storage on discs.

Question 2

____________ refers to the ability to maintain data within the system temporarily or permanently.&#10;A) Storage&#10;B) GPU&#10;C) Solid-state&#10;D) GIGO

Accepted Answer

Storage refers to the ability to maintain data within the system temporarily or permanently, either in volatile memory (such as RAM) or non-volatile memory (such as hard drives or solid-state drives). GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized processor designed to handle graphics-related computations. Solid-state refers to a type of storage that does not have any moving parts, and instead relies on solid-state electronics to store and retrieve data. GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) is a term used to describe the idea that incorrect or low-quality input will result in incorrect or low-quality output.

Question 3

Magnetic disks are a _____ access storage medium.&#10;A) direct&#10;B) consecutive&#10;C) volatile&#10;D) sequential

Accepted Answer

Magnetic disks allow direct access to any location on the disk, making it a popular choice for storing data that needs to be accessed randomly. Consecutive access refers to accessing data in a sequence, volatile refers to storage that loses its data when power is turned off, and sequential access refers to accessing data in a specific order.

Question 4

Which of the following is an example of optical storage?&#10;A) hard disk&#10;B) CD&#10;C) RAM&#10;D) USB drive

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is an example...

Question 5

RAM can be inserted into slots on a motherboard to expand storage on some computers.

Accepted Answer

RAM stands for random access memory, and it is a type of computer memory that allows data to be read and written quickly. Most desktop and laptop computers have slots on their motherboards where users can insert RAM sticks to increase their computer's memory capacity.

Question 6

With _____ memory,data is stored permanently with no moving parts or the need for electricity.&#10;A) flash&#10;B) optical&#10;C) magnetic&#10;D) compact disc

Accepted Answer

Flash memory stores data permanently without the need for moving parts or continuous power, making it ideal for devices like USB drives and SSDs.

Question 7

Random access memory (RAM)is also sometimes called _____ storage.&#10;A) flash&#10;B) solid-state&#10;C) primary&#10;D) secondary

Accepted Answer

RAM is considered primary storage because it is the computer's main and fastest memory for temporarily storing data that the CPU (central processing unit) needs to access frequently. Secondary storage, such as hard drives or solid-state drives, are used for long-term storage of data. Flash refers to a type of non-volatile memory commonly used in USB drives and SSDs, while solid-state generally refers to any technology that uses electronic instead of mechanical storage.

Question 8

A Blu-ray disc is an example of solid-state storage.

Accepted Answer

A Blu-ray disc is an example of optical storage, not solid-state storage. Solid-state storage uses flash memory, whereas Blu-ray discs store data optically and are read with a laser.

Question 9

The task of video _____ is to serve as a buffer between the processor and the monitor.&#10;A) memory&#10;B) graphics&#10;C) flash&#10;D) processes

Accepted Answer

The task of video memory is to serve as a buffer between the processor and the monitor, storing images and video data before it is displayed.

Question 10

Video memory plays an important role in how data is stored on a computer and is also called GPU.

Accepted Answer

Video memory is specifically used for storing image data for a computer display and is a component of the graphics processing unit (GPU), not another name for the GPU itself.
