It depends which component you are trying to replace, but almost all of the components are installed upon the motherboard, the CPU often below the heatsink (fan); the ram is in sticks and the psu is at the back, off the motherboard.
The Motherboard functions as the main circuit board that connects and communicates to all the devices and components attached in the computer. The motherboard facilitates the communication of devices with each other.
the central processing unit or the CPU. it contains your processor.
Every computer has and needs a motherboard. The motherboard connects with all of the different components of the computer, and is often matched with the CPU and RAM. The motherboard can be thought of as the heart of the computer, as all other components need it for a system to run properly.

Motherboard or some times refereed as a Main Board. The components are often connect to conections called the Bus and from there toe communication is controlled by the IEEE
The manufacturer name is usually printed in much larger type than the model number.

The motherboard in a computer connects all the components together. A computer case protects the motherboard it is the plastic or metal that surrounds the tower. The CPU is directly attached to the motherboard, a fan and heatsync tape keep heat from damaging the board. Motherboards are often damaged by static electricity or power surges using a surge protector or uninterruptible power supply will help prevent electrical damage.
Before mounting the motherboard in the case I like to install the CPU and CPU fan/heatsink on to the motherboard. In fact, it is recommended to install the CPU & heatsink while the motherboard is still our of the case to make the job easier.
I am not quite sure what you mean by this, so perhaps a breif description of the two components you listed will help you: CPU: The CPU (or Central Processing Unit) is often thought of as the Brain of the computer. It is a relatively small chip in standard computers (2 inch square rougly) and serves to compute data. Information from everything else happening in the computer is "fed" to the CPU and it performs data calculations. Motherboard: The motherboard is like the overseer in a computer. It controls the flow of data, directing traffic. Without this component, all other components of the computer are useless as they cannot communicate with eachother. Both components are necessities. The CPU its attached directly to the motherboard in almost all cases.
A motherboard is the main circuit bored of a computer. So the (often green) bored inside a computer. This is used to attach all the components of the computer (e.g processors and CPU chips) so the computer can function correctly.
It is often hard to fit an after market motherboard into dell computers, you would have to check the dell website.
