Answer 5

Going down to the more basic elements, cakey_baker, Android is the Operating System that is present on a bunch of open mobile devices such as Cellphones and Tablets. The Android Operating system is 'open' as in the source code is available for anyone to download and modify unlike other Operating Systems.

Android OS is responsible for communicating with the underlying device hardware and the 3rd party software written by developers (it exposes a bridge so you as a developer can develop for 'Android' rather than every single cell phone that runs Android).

So for example, if you make a call, text, or take a picture among every other thing you do on an Android powered device, the Android Operating System is allowing that to happen in the most basic sense.

If you elaborate more, we can probably narrow this down for you! :)
