(3) 3. transfers data from one component to another – bidirectional. (4, 3) 4. the frequency in megahertz (MHz) or Gigahertz (GHz) that determines the speed of execution. (5, 5) 9. volatile because when the computer is switched off – the contents are lost, temporary memory. (3) 10. set of wires that connect independent components together to transfer control signals and data. (3) Down 2. transports control signals and is bidirectional. (7, 3) 5. the physical part of the computer and is controlled by software. (8) 6. 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. (9) 7. ‘Brain’ of the computer (9) 8. address all components except the processor – unidirectional. (7, 3)
