An operand is the data that is being operated on or manipulated by the instruction. The op code specifies what operation to perform on the operand. The ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is the component of the processor that actually performs the operation specified by the op code on the operand. Instruction code refers to the entire instruction, including both the op code and the operand(s).
