1. Performing the POST 2. Activating BIOS 3. Loading the OS 4. Apply other configurations

1. Loading the OS 2. Performing the POST 3. Activating BIOS 4. Apply other configurations

1. Apply other configurations 2. Activating BIOS 3. Performing the POST 4. Loading the OS

In the second step of the input process, the ____ performs the _____ to ensure that essential peripheral devices are connected and attached

Basic Input/Output System; Power-On Self-Test

Power-On Self-Test; Basic Input/Output System

The third step of the boot up process loads the OS. What does the BIOS do?

The BIOS goes through a list of devices to search for the drive that contains the system files

The BIOS manages user accounts and permissions.

The BIOS connects to the internet and downloads updates.

The BIOS runs applications and programs directly.

The BIOS initializes hardware and loads the bootloader.

What are system files in relation to the OS?

System files are essential files used by the OS for its operation and management.

System files are only related to hardware components.

System files are temporary files created by applications.

System files are user-generated files for personal use.

What happens to the kernel in the third step in the boot up process?

The kernel is loaded into memory and initialized.

The kernel is deleted from memory.

The kernel is compressed and stored on disk.

The kernel is replaced by the bootloader.

Some systems have a dual boot or more than one OS. How does the BIOS decide which OS to boot into the RAM?

The BIOS uses the boot priority and a bootloader to decide which OS to boot into RAM.

The BIOS randomly selects an OS to boot into RAM.

The BIOS requires user input each time to choose an OS.

The BIOS automatically boots the most recently installed OS without any configuration.

Which of the following is not an OS function?

Device configuration and control

TRUE OR FALSE: The only portions of a program that must be fetched in RAM are the past instructions, next instruction to be fetched, and the necessary data.

FALSE, only the next instruction and the necessary data must be fetched.

FALSE, all instructions and data must be fetched.

FALSE, only the next instruction must be fetched.

In virtual memory management, what happens to pages that aren't really used?

Unused pages placed in the page file/swap space

Unused pages are kept in RAM indefinitely.

Unused pages are deleted permanently.

Unused pages are automatically compressed in memory.

When the RAM needs a chunk of data that is currently stored in the page file, what will happen?

The data will be fetched from the page file into RAM, a process known as paging or swapping.

The operating system will automatically delete unused applications to free up RAM.

The RAM will automatically expand to accommodate the extra data.

How does the OS make itself seem like its "multitasking"?

The OS quickly switches between tasks, giving the illusion of running them simultaneously.

The OS runs multiple applications at the same time on separate processors.

The OS allocates a fixed amount of time to each application and runs them in parallel.

The OS only runs one application at a time but tricks the user into thinking it’s multitasking.

What is the role of the operating system in device configuration and control?

The OS manages device drivers, ensuring hardware communicates effectively with software.

The OS directly controls all hardware operations without requiring device drivers.

The OS only monitors hardware performance without controlling or configuring devices.

The OS stores device drivers in a cloud-based system, automatically downloading them when needed.

What are the two features that display utlities offer?

Personalizing of the look and feel of the OS GUI through colors, backgrounds, and themes

Customizing lock screens and screensavers

File compression to save space on the screen’s display memory

Network bandwidth allocation for optimizing display rendering over the internet.

Real-time antivirus scanning to detect potential threats on the display.

What features fall under application management utilities? Choose 3.

Install/uninstall application software

Update the OS and application software

Monitoring hardware temperature to avoid overheating

Compressing and encrypting files to optimize storage

How does file compression work?

It reduces file size by searching for pattern redundancies and replacing them with shorter placeholders

It deletes unnecesary parts of life.

It uses encryption to reduce file size.

It removes unnecesary packets that came from the downloading/installation process.

TRUE OR FALSE: Some compression programs remove certain parts of the file. The file will still be able to open, but the human eye cannot perceive the deletion of certain parts. This is common in videos, musics, images.

FALSE, the human eye perceives them hence some compression programs can’t be trusted

FALSE, but some parts are inevitably removed
