✅ EF Core "Disconnected" Architecture Vs Ado.NET

Hello guys, can someone explain how EF core works under the hood please. I read that it just loads data in memory, everything is done in memory and all changes are made to the database when we use method like
SaveChanges()
SaveChanges()
.

But it may happen we don't need that method either like when we use the
ExecuteDelete or ExecuteUpdate
ExecuteDelete or ExecuteUpdate
(I think, don't know how this works though). I was wondering how is this different from ADO.Net; in ADO.Net we have a choice of connected and disconnected architecture? Like I know we can use
DbSet
DbSet
I think to load entire entity in it, then work from that.

I would really appreciate if someone can clarify how both the EF Core and ADO.Net architecture works :C
