Question 1.
What is a single bus architecture?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how different parts of a computer interact.
Question 2.
Name one register involved in the single bus architecture.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the names of registers defined in this architecture.
3Question 3.
What does the Program Counter (PC) do?
- Holds the address of the next instruction
- Stores the current instruction
- Keeps track of data processed
Show hintHide hint

4Question 4.
True or False: Indirect addressing mode requires two memory accesses to retrieve the operand.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how many times the memory needs to be accessed.
Question 5.
If you had an instruction using indirect addressing, explain the sequence of operations required to execute it, including the number of memory accesses involved.
Show hintHide hint
Think about each step leading to the final operand retrieval.
Question 6.
Critically evaluate the efficiency of a program that predominantly uses indirect addressing mode compared to direct addressing. What considerations must be factored in?
Show hintHide hint
Assess how performance could be impacted by the number of memory accesses.
