What is the black line around an active cell?
It is a cell border to indicate that the cell is the active cell when it is the only cell selected. When multiple cells are selected, there is still only one active cell, but the border is around that area of cells. If multiple ranges are selected, then no border appears around the active cell or the any of the selected areas.It is a cell border to indicate that the cell is the active cell when it is the only cell selected.

What is a cell called when it is selected?
You can have more than one cell selected at once. When that happens one cell is known as the active cell, which is also the case if there is only one cell selected. If you start typing, it is the cell into which data will go. There are no special names for the other cells that may also be selected at that time, so the answer you are looking for is the active cell.
What is a selected cell?
The active cell that you have clicked on.
What term describe a cell that is ready for data entry?
If the cell is selected then it would be called the active cell. In practice, every cell is ready for data entry, so on that basis there is no special name for them. To put data into a cell, it must be selected and it then becomes the active cell.
In Excel is cell A1 designated the active cell?
If you select one cell, it will be active. However, if you select multiple cells at once, only one can be the active cell. That is usually the cell you select first.
What is active cell is for?
The active cell is the one that is currently selected. Into it you can type something, so it is for typing data or a formula into. Even if more than one cell is selected, only one is the active cell and it will show in a different colour to the other selected cells. The active cell can also be used to enter something and put it into the other selected cells.
What is it calledwhen you click into a cell and gets highlighted?
You could call it highlighting but more commonly you would call it selecting.
The fill handle is located on the border of the active?
It will be on the bottom right corner of the border of the active cell if one cell is selected. If more than one cell is selected, then it will be at the bottom right corner of the selected area.
Why is a single cell selected in Excel?
At any moment in time, at least one cell has to be selected in Excel. It is known as the active cell. There has to be a focal point so that data or formulas can be typed in. Even when more than one cell is selected, there is only one active cell. Which cell is the active cell can be changed at any time, but there always has to be an active cell. If there isn't then, before you do anything, you would have to make a cell active. Cells are fundamental to Excel so there has to be an active cell at all times.
How do you know a range is active?
The range will be selected and there will be one active cell. Only one cell can be active, not the whole range.
What is a cell used for?
The active cell is the currently selected cell. For example, if I click on cell A1, cell A1 can be said to be the active cell. For purposes of VBA programming, if more than one cell is selected, "Selection" should be used, not "ActiveCell", in referring to the selected range.
