Updates and Separate Partitions for 1st level directories

1, If I have some 1st level directories (such as /usr /tmp or /opt (etc.) on a separate partition, then when I download and install an update, how does Linux know where all the directories are?

2. I am assuming these partitions need to be "mounted" when Linux is run? (I know little at this point) Can this mounting of necessary directories be automated?

Thanx, AnneFlatest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=b7tO6Fk3744:7ehuyh5F6CU:F7zBnMy latest?i=b7tO6Fk3744:7ehuyh5F6CU:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=b7tO6Fk3744:7ehuyh5F6CU:gIN9vFwb7tO6Fk3744
