The kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components)
what do you mean by internal memory ? Read only memory is a thing which acts as a interface between kernal and interfacing hardware... it helps passing orders from the kernal to the hardware and makes it work ! i guess this definitely fitting in the category of the internal memory but it is not used as a storing the user's data for his personal use ..!
Synchronous dynamic random access memory (in other words fast access memory that the computer uses for the operating system/kernal, and running programs)
Kernal
A homophone of the word "kernel" is "colonel."
Eithne means kernal.
A kernal in Android is what software and hardware use to communicate.
I THINK KERNAL IS THE INNERMOST PART OF THE COMPUTER. AND ALL REATED TO HARDWARE MEANS TIME SHARNG,MEMORY MANAGEMENT ETC IS DONE BY KERNAL. WHILE SHELL IS OUTER MOST PART OF COMPUTER. IT ACTS AS AN INTERFACE B/W USE AND OS. IN B/W KERNAL AND SHELL THR IS OS. O.S IS IN BETWEEN KERNAL AND SHELL ====================== I will take it this way... Superficial idea about the shell communication is very simple. Shell is a program(for Linux a process) which has been written to using the Kernal modules(Kernal is again a software program consist of many module).Kernal module provides different API which the shell programmer use to call depending upon the command placed by the user. Writting our own shell is bit difficult as it need through understanding of how the kenel behaves.

The homonym for "kernal" is "kernel." Kernel refers to a seed or core inside a fruit or nut, while kernal does not have a widely recognized definition.
A homonym for "kernel" is "colonel." Both words are pronounced the same but have different meanings and spellings.
The kernal's outer shell breaks when the germ inside the kernal turns water and heats into steam, the pressure bursts the kernal and the internal starch flares out making the white fluffy portion.
