(3) 6. volatile because when the computer is switched off – the contents are lost, temporary memory. (3) 7. the physical part of the computer and is controlled by software. (8) 10. address all components except the processor – unidirectional. (7, 3) Down 2. transports control signals and is bidirectional. (7, 3) 3. non-volatile – the contents in the ROM is not lost when the computer is switched off. (3) 4. the number of lines allocated to a bus. The bigger it is – the more data can be transferred at a time (4, 6) 8. transfers data from one component to another – bidirectional. (4, 3) 9. fast memory locations which are used to carry out certain things – these are used instead of using main memory because it would take a lot longer for the processor to fetch everything from the main memory so it is faster.
