1.

Match the component with its description:

Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item

Clock Speed

arrow_right_alt

Responsible for performing arithmetic and logic operations required by program instructions.

Internal Clock

arrow_right_alt

Manages the flow of data within the processor and the entire computer system, ensuring correct handling of program instructions.

System Clock

arrow_right_alt

Controls the processor's internal activity cycles, allowing it to synchronize various processes.

Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)

arrow_right_alt

Controls activities outside the processor and helps coordinate the operation of the entire computer system.

Control Unit

arrow_right_alt

The CPU operates at a specific clock frequency, defining the minimum time period between successive activities within the system.
