Instruction Register (IR)
Which register temporarily stores data during memory transfers?
Accumulator Register
Memory Buffer Register (MBR)
Program Counter (PC)
Instruction Register (IR)
Which register is responsible for holding the current instruction being executed?
Memory Address Register (MAR)
Memory Buffer Register (MBR)
Program Counter (PC)
Instruction Register (IR)
Which register stores intermediate arithmetic and logical results during calculations?
Accumulator Register
Memory Address Register (MAR)

The main purpose of the Memory Address Register (MAR) is to:
Store intermediate arithmetic results
Store the current instruction being executed
Hold the memory address of data to be read or written
Keep track of program sequencing
Which type of memory holds both program instructions and active data for execution?
Cache memory
Secondary memory
Main memory (RAM)
Virtual memory
What does the Program Counter (PC) store?
Intermediate results of calculations
The current instruction being executed
The memory address of data being transferred
The memory address of the next instruction to be fetched
The purpose of the Memory Buffer Register (MBR) is to:
Hold the current instruction being executed
Temporarily store data during memory transfers
Store intermediate arithmetic results
Keep track of program sequencing
