Temporary storage on chips is called memory.
Most such solid-state memory is in the form of random-access memory (RAM) chips, usually dynamic RAM (DRAM).
The people who write operating systems and the computer architects that design computer systems and CPUs often use many different temporary storage areas, each one with a different name.
If you are building a high-speed computer or writing a high-performance operating system, you will learn about the temporary storage areas known as the disk page cache, the stack, the heap, and the virtual memory page table, are (more or less) stored in the main memory DRAM.
The CPU has a few temporary locations called registers.
Often there is one or more levels of cache (the L1 cache, the L2 cache, etc.) between the CPU and the main memory. High-performance CPUs typically put a cache on the same chip as the CPU; some older personal computers had an "external cache" SRAM chips between the CPU chip and the main memory DRAM chips.
Many high-performance computers have several levels of successively larger and slower caches -- an extremely fast I-cache and D-cache and TLB, the L1 cache, the L2 cache, the L3 cache, and main memory.

What component of the computer is responsible for temporary storage of information?
RAM (Random Accessed Memory) is "temporary" storage. It is temporary because the type we use in desktops PC's is called, volatile. This means, when power is lost, so is all data stored in memory.
A temporary storage area attached to the CPU for operation is a?
RAM (random access memory)
The temporary storage location for text or graphics to be copied to another location within a document?
The clipboard.
What is a computer chips that store information while a PC is in use?
a hard drive stores the computers information, while the RAM (random access memory) can store temporary things like your history etc that get deleted when you turn off your computer
Does ram contain instructions for basic computer operations?
No. RAM is a volatile memory storage used for the temporary storage of programs and the data associated with the programs. Computers use RAM to speed up the loading times of programs because retrieving a program from the hard drive is significantly much slower.

Temporary storage location sometimes called a?
There are many names for the many locations in a computer used to temporarily store data; for details, see the "What's the temporary storage area in a computer called?" question. In particular, most of those locations are on a chip -- for details, see the "What is temporary storage on chips called?" question. In some kinds of outdoors activities (hiking, camping, geocaching, orienteering, etc.) food and equipment is often temporarily stored in a cache.
What is the temporary storage unit on a computer?
Programmers often think of a computer as having only one temporary storage area, the random access memory (RAM). People using a computer often use a temporary storage location called the "clipboard". See "The what is a temporary holding area in your PC's memory that holds information you want to cut or move from its current location?" for details. The people who write operating systems and the computer architects that design computer systems and CPUs often use many different temporary storage areas, each one with a different name. Many of these temporary storage areas are stored in chips of silicon -- see the "What is temporary storage on chips called?" for details. Other temporary storage areas are stored on the hard drive -- such as the web page cache, the hibernation file, and the virtual memory swap file.
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.
