    • D.

      750 mb

    • E.

      17 gb

    Correct Answer
    B. ROM and RAM
    Explanation
    Memory consists of ROM (Read-Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). ROM is a type of memory that stores permanent data and instructions that cannot be modified or erased. It contains the firmware or software instructions that are essential for the operation of a computer system. On the other hand, RAM is a type of memory that is used for temporary storage of data and instructions that are actively being used by the computer. It allows for quick access and retrieval of information, but the data stored in RAM is lost when the computer is powered off. Therefore, the correct answer is ROM and RAM.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    ROM is...

    • A.

      Permanently programmed when installed

    • B.

      Permanently programmed at Mircosoft

    • C.

      Permanently programmed after purchase

    • D.

      Permanently programmed at BestBuy

    Correct Answer
    C. Permanently programmed after purchase
    Explanation
    ROM stands for Read-Only Memory, which is a type of computer memory that is pre-programmed during manufacturing and cannot be easily modified or erased. In this context, the correct answer suggests that ROM is permanently programmed after the purchase of a device. This means that the programming of ROM cannot be changed by the user, ensuring the stability and integrity of the device's firmware or software.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    ROM is blank it never changes

    Correct Answer
    nonvolatile
    volatile
    Explanation
    The given statement implies that ROM (Read-Only Memory) is blank and never changes. This indicates that ROM is nonvolatile, meaning its data is retained even when power is turned off. On the other hand, volatile memory refers to temporary storage that requires power to retain data. Therefore, the correct answer is nonvolatile for ROM and volatile for other types of memory.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    RAM is....

    • A.

      Volatile

    • B.

      Nonvolatile

    Correct Answer
    A. Volatile
    Explanation
    RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that is volatile. Volatile means that the data stored in RAM is temporary and is lost when the computer is turned off or loses power. This is in contrast to nonvolatile memory, which retains data even when power is lost. RAM is used by the computer to store data that is being actively used by the processor, allowing for fast access and retrieval. Its volatile nature allows for quick read and write operations but requires a constant power supply to retain data.

    • D.

      DVD

    Correct Answer
    A. Floppy disk
    Explanation
    A floppy disk holds less memory compared to a zip disk, CD, and DVD. Floppy disks were commonly used in the past and had a storage capacity ranging from 360KB to 1.44MB. In contrast, zip disks had a storage capacity of 100MB to 750MB, CDs typically hold around 700MB to 1.4GB, and DVDs can store up to 4.7GB or more. Therefore, the correct answer is floppy disk because it has the smallest storage capacity among the options given.

    • C.

      Floppy disk

    • D.

      Zip disk

    Correct Answer
    B. DVD
    Explanation
    A DVD can hold the most memory compared to a CD, floppy disk, and zip disk. DVDs have a larger storage capacity, typically ranging from 4.7 to 9.4 gigabytes, allowing them to store more data, such as videos, software, and files. CDs have a maximum capacity of 700 megabytes, floppy disks have a maximum capacity of 1.44 megabytes, and zip disks have a maximum capacity of 100 to 750 megabytes. Therefore, a DVD is capable of holding the most memory out of the given options.

    A wireless internet service provider (WISP) is a company that provides wireless internet access to computers and mobile devices such as...

    • A.

      Home phones

    • B.

      Calculators

    • C.

      Smartphones and PDA's

    • D.

      Browsers

    Correct Answer
    C. Smartphones and PDA's
    Explanation
    A wireless internet service provider (WISP) is a company that provides wireless internet access to computers and mobile devices such as smartphones and PDA's. This means that they offer internet connectivity to devices that can connect to the internet wirelessly, such as smartphones and personal digital assistants (PDA's). Home phones and calculators typically do not have the capability to connect to the internet wirelessly, so they would not be included in the devices that a WISP provides internet access to. Browsers, on the other hand, are software applications used to access the internet, not physical devices, so they are not relevant to the question.
