You do have to know them. X-Modem and Y-Modem are different protocols for error detection. Check your textbook - it will tell you that:

X-Modem: Sends a packet and waits for the acknowledgement of the receiving computer before either retransmitting the same pack in response to a negative acknowledgement, or transmitting the next packet in response to an acknowledgement.

Z-Modem: Continiously transmits packets until it receives a negative acknowledgement from the receiving computer (which received a corrupt packet).

Hope this helps.
