What are the main purposes of industrial computing, input devices, system software, and the E12 series? How do serial and parallel transmissions differ?

Here are the answers to the questions: 1. The main purpose of industrial computing is to B. control and monitor industrial processes Industrial computing systems are designed to automate, monitor, and control machinery and processes in industrial environments. 2. A device used to enter data into a computer system is a/an C. Scanner A scanner is an input device that converts physical documents or images into digital data for a computer. A plotter, speaker, and projector are output devices. 3. System software is mainly responsible for B. managing hardware resources System software, such as an operating system, manages the computer's hardware and software resources, providing a platform for application software to run. 4. The number of resistors per decade in the E12 series is A. 12 The "E" in E-series stands for "preferred values," and the number (e.g., 12 in E12) indicates how many standard values are available per decade (a factor of 10). 5. A device driver is required so that the operating system can A. detect and control connected devices A device driver is a software program that allows the operating system to communicate with and operate a specific hardware device. 6. Serial transmission differs from parallel transmission because serial transmission A. sends bits one after another on a single line Serial transmission sends data bits sequentially over a single communication channel, while parallel transmission sends multiple bits simultaneously over multiple channels. 7. In a relational database, a record corresponds to a B. complete row in a table In a relational database, a record (or tuple) is a single entry in a table, representing a complete set of related data, which is stored as a row. I cannot answer question 8 as the options are not visible in the image. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
