1. name some platforms that computer systems are built on.

word, excel, powerpoint, publisher
turbo tax, quattro pro, internet
notepad, paint, halo
windows, macintosh, linux, unix

Explanation:

1. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is stored in ROM (Read - Only Memory). When the computer is powered on, the BIOS wakes up the ROM first. Then it initializes and sends power to wake other parts of the computer. It does not call application software at this stage (application software is loaded later by the operating system). Also, it is not the CPU or RAM that it wakes up first in the context of its basic startup function related to hardware initialization.
2. Platforms that computer systems are built on refer to operating system platforms. Windows, Macintosh (macOS), Linux, and UNIX are all operating system platforms. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher are application software. Turbo Tax is tax - preparation software, Quattro Pro is a spreadsheet application. Notepad and Paint are basic utility applications in Windows, and Halo is a video game.
