I can help with most of these!
#1: Explain the use of logic gates.
Answer: Logic gates are comparisons to operations that are performed in the CPU using keywords such as, OR, XOR, NOT, AND, NAND, XNOR, and NOR.
#2: ____ refers to logic in programming and errors in program code.
Answer: BUGS refers to logic in programming and errors in program code.
#3: What type of software resides on a computer’s hard drive, and controls the CPU and all other activity between components?
Answer: The operating system!
#4: Why are high-level languages easier for humans to understand?
Answer: They are written with human-friendly words that humans understand.
#5: Which component receives data and loads it into memory for use?
Answer: The CU!
#6: Explain why a CPU’s speed is affected by the number of buses.
Answer: Each bus is basically a highway on the motherboard that is enabling data transfers from and to the CPU. So, since there are numerous buses, large amounts of data are being transferred. This is how the CPU's speed is affected.
#7: What's the keyword for a field that stores a true/false value?
Answer: Boolean
#9: How is Windows 8 different from an Internet browser such as Firefox?
Answer: Windows 8 is system software; Firefox is application software.

Answer: Javascript language!
#11: Which part of the CPU provides access to the external cache unit and other CPUs on the motherboard?
Answer: The southbridge!
#14: What is a user-friendly software program that displays information to the user, accepts input from the user, and provides output for the user?
Answer: Human-computer interface!
#15: What is a group of printable characters enclosed within double quotation marks called?
Answer: String Literal!
#16: Which component comprises the central processing unit?
Answer: The Control unit!
#17: What typically handles communications among the CPU, in some cases RAM, PCI Express (or AGP) video cards, and the southbrige?
Answer: The northbridge!
#18: Explain why clock speed is used to measure a computer’s speed in calculation and processing data.
Answer: Clock speed is the measurement of how many cycles a CPU can process. When the processor speed or CPU is compared to different computers, the higher the clock speed is, the more efficient and faster the computer will run.
#19: Choose the following components that are controlled by the motherboard.
Answer: The CPU cooling fan, power supply and internal speaker are all controlled by the motherboard.
#21: When does the ALU get activated? Choose the most appropriate answer.
Answer: Once an instruction that involves a calculation comes to the CPU.
#22: Which of the following makes up binary code?
Answer: 1s and 0s!
