Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Random Access Memory (RAM) holds the programs and data that a system is using while the system is powered on. When the system is shut down, the contents of RAM are emptied, thus considering RAM temporary or volatile storage. When there is not enough space in RAM to hold all the instructions and data in use, the less needed programs and data are transferred to an area on the hard drive where it is temporarily stored until it is needed. This is called virtual memory.
