Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Devices that store or generate data, such as computers, servers, printers, scanners, and mobile devices, are considered to be Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) on a network. Routers are networking devices that direct traffic between different networks. DCE (Data Communications Equipment) refers to devices such as modems that provide a communication interface between the DTE and the network. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a biological molecule that stores and releases energy in living cells and is not related to networking.
