True / false
1- The control unit consists of the CPU and the ALU. (false)
2- Secondary storage holds data only temporarily. (false)
3- The control unit directs the entire computer system. (true)
4- The electronic circuit that controls all the arithmetic and logical operations is
contained in the ALU. (true)
5- Registers are temporary storage area located in memory. (False)
6- All computers except personal computer can execute more than one
instruction at a time. (false)
7- The machine cycle consists of four steps, from the first step of fetching the
instruction to the last step of storing the result in the memory. (true)
8- Computers represent data using the two-state binary system. (true)
9- A bit is commonly made up of 8 bytes. (false)

Fill in
1- The --------------- consists of both the control unit and ALU (CPU central
processing unit)
2- MHz is an abbreviation for -----------------(Megahertz)

(Motherboard)
5- The four steps in the machine cycle are ---------------,------------,------------,-----------
(fetch, decode, execute, store)
6- The ----------------- transfers data between the CPU and memory. (System Bus)
