Processor

What is the role of the processor in a computer system?

• To store data permanently

• To handle instructions and execute them in a sequence

• To provide power to the computer

• To manage network connections

What are the main components of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) as shown in the diagram?

• Control Unit, Registers, Arithmetic and Logic Unit

• Control Unit, Registers, Data Bus

• Arithmetic and Logic Unit, Address Bus, Main Memory

• Control Unit, Data Bus, Main Memory

Which bus is responsible for transferring data between the CPU and the main memory?

• Address Bus

• Data Bus

• Memory Bus

What type of memory is connected to the CPU via the Address Bus and Data Bus?

What does the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) handle?

• Memory storage

• Input and output operations

• All calculations and logical decisions

• Data transmission

Which of the following is NOT a function of the ALU?
