Does the processor uses permanent storage sometimes called secondary storage to hold both data and instructions while it is processing them?
False, the processor does not use permanent storage to hold both data and instructions while it is processing them. The processor uses temporary storage to hold data and instructions.
The processor uses temporary storage called to temporarily hold both data and instructions while it is processing them?
The processor uses temporary storage called primary storage, to temporarily hold both data and instructions while it is processing them. Another word for primary storage is called memory.
Of the two types of storage in a system which type is generally faster and holds data instructions while the data is being processed Which type of storage is generally slower but more permanent?
Primary storage, called RAM memory, is temporaty one that holds data and instructions while it is processing both. And slower but more permanent is secondary storage. And those are hard drives, CD drives, DVD drives, flash drives, Zip drives and floppy drives.

Differences between secondary storage and primary storage?
Primary storages are volatile. An Example of primary storage : RAM whereas, Secondary storages are permanent. An Example of secondary storage : ROM
When data and instructions are not being used are they kept in permanent storage?
true
What are the four primary funcations of hardware?
Input, output, processing, storage.
What are the definition of processing and storage?
The input data is processed by the CPU (Central Processing Unit) According to the set of instructions given by the user. The set of instructions is known as program.
When data and instructions are not being used they must be kept in permanent storage sometimes called?
Permanent or Secondary storage - such as a hard drive, CD, DVD, or USB drive
How primary and secondary storage handle storage for application program instructions?
when working on a Microsoft word document, why is it important to save your work often?(use primary and secondary storage to explain)
What are the functions of primary memory?
Primary memory also called main memory is normally the Random Access Memory (RAM) of the computer. It is the memory that the Central Processing Unit (CPU) can access directly. All data and program instructions are stored and retrieved by the CPU from the primary memory in small block normally from 1 to 8 bytes at a time. The CPU can not store or retrieve anything from the permanent storage locations such as hard drives, jump drives, diskettes, etc. Therefore data on permanent storage is retrieved from the storage device in large blocks, normally 512 to 65536 bytes at a time, and written to the primary memory where it is then used by the CPU. When it is time to save the data or programs from the primary memory to a permanent storage location it is written again in large blocks to the device.
What are the difference between primary and secondary storage device?
Primary storage is usually the drive where the operating system is and the secondary storage is a additional drive for space. Usually, Windows names it's primary drive as C:\ and all it's following as other letters.
