Q/A. Page: 25
Q I. Why is the CPU called the brain of the computer?
Ans:The CPU is called the brain of the computer because it controls
and processes all the information in the computer.
Q 2: Name the three components of the CPU.
Ans: The three components of the CPU are
1. the arithmetic logic unit or ALU
2. the control unit or CU
3. the memory unit or MU.
Q 3: How is the ALU different from the CU?
Ans .The ALU performs calculations, while the CU manages and
coordinates the computer's operations.
Q 4: Why are the disks in the hard disk drive sealed in an airtight
case?
Ans: The disks in the hard disk drive are sealed in an airtight case to
protect them from dust.
Q5: What does CPU stand for?
Ans: It stands for Central Processing Unit .
Q6: What is the function of CPU?
Ans: It controls and processes all the data store in computer.
Q7: What is micro processor?
Ans: It is a single chip where CPU is housed and located in the system
units.
Q8: What is the function of control unit?
Ans: It directs different parts of computer to carry out instructions .
Q9: What is the function of Arithmetic logic ?
Ans: The Athematic logic unit calculates and makes logic decision.
Q10: What is the function of memory unit?
Ans: The memory unit (MU ) stores data and instructions to process
data .
Q11: Why the usb port is attached to the CPU?
Ans: The USB port is attached to the CPU because we can attach input
/output devices and flash drive to it.
