b. Memory:

• What does memory in a computer refer to?

  Hardware that stores data
• RAM is volatile memory that can be read from and written to by the processor.


  True
• The contents of RAM are lost when the power is turned off
• What does ROM store in a computer?

  Basic startup instructions (BIOS)
• Match the memory type with its characteristic:

  RAM ↔️ Volatile

  ROM ↔️ Non-volatile
• Match the memory type with its usage:

  RAM ↔️ Stores programs and data in use

  ROM ↔️ Stores basic startup instructions (BIOS)
• Which type of memory can be read from and written to?

  RAM
• ROM stores the BIOS, which is used for starting the computer
• ROM is a non-volatile memory that can only be read
• ROM retains its contents even when the power is turned off.


  True
• RAM is faster than ROM
• What is the primary purpose of ROM in a computer?

  Stores the BIOS
• RAM stores the programs and data that the computer is currently using
• What type of memory can be both read from and written to by the processor?

  RAM
• RAM stores the programs and data currently in use by the computer.


  True
• ROM is non-volatile memory that can only be read
• Order the following characteristics to describe the differences between RAM and ROM:

  1️⃣ Volatility: RAM is volatile, ROM is non-volatile

  2️⃣ Read/Write: RAM can be read and written to, ROM can only be read

  3️⃣ Usage: RAM stores data in use, ROM stores the BIOS

  4️⃣ Speed: RAM is faster than ROM
• RAM is volatile memory that can be read from and written to by the processor.
• RAM is a volatile memory, meaning its data is lost when the power is turned off
• RAM is used to store programs and data currently in use
• What basic instructions does ROM store to start the computer?

  BIOS
• RAM is a volatile memory, while ROM is a non-volatile
• What type of volatility does RAM have?

  Volatile
• Place the following memory characteristics in order from fastest to slowest:

  1️⃣ RAM speed

  2️⃣ ROM speed
• ROM stores the basic instructions needed to start the computer, known as the BIOS
• ROM is typically larger in capacity than RAM.

  False
• One megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,048,576 bytes
• Why does higher RAM capacity improve computer performance?

  Handles larger datasets
• ROM capacity is measured in MB and GB.


  True
• A megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,048,576 bytes
• RAM stands for Random Access Memory
• What type of data does RAM store?

  Currently used programs
• ROM is non-volatile memory that can only be read from.


  True
• ROM stores the basic instructions needed to start the computer
• What type of access does RAM provide?

  Random access
• RAM is volatile, meaning data is lost when the power is off
• RAM is non-volatile and retains data when the power is turned off.

  False
• Which type of memory is faster?

  RAM
• What does ROM store in a computer?

  The BIOS
• What type of memory is volatile and can be read from and written to by the processor?

  RAM
