∙ 14y agoElectrolysis uses electrically charged probes called an anode and a cathode, submerged in salty water to split the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (CO2). These elements collect at either probe and are collected.
Electrochemical cells uses the naturally occurring chemical reactions in specific elements such as zinc and carbon to produce a flow of electrons. By connecting the two terminals on these cells, the electrons can flow allowing the chemical reaction to take place.

What is a combination of two or more electrochemical cells in series that store chemical energy which transforms into electrical energy?
a battery
What is the difference between lysis and lysate?
Lysate is all the material formed by the lysis of cells. Lysis is the disintegration or destruction of cells.
What are electrochemical impulses?
While a neural signal is chemically conveyed from one neuron to another by neurotransmitters, the electro-chemical neural impulse, which happens in the axon when the neuron fires, is called an action potential.
Difference between spun and unspun urine?
Unspun urine is a quantitative oil immersion method to identify white cells and bacteria in UTI .
Which chemical reduces oxygen in the blood causing a difference between the amount of oxygen the cells need and the amount of oxygen the blood cell can supply?
carbon monoxide.
Where do chemical reactions occur in electrochemical cells?
Chemical reactions occur between the electrolyte and the electrodes in an electrochemical cell.
What is the basic difference between solar cells and fuel cells?
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device whiles a solar cell is a device that converts photons from the sun into electricity.
Factors affecting emf of electrochemical cells?
temperature,length of the wire,area,potential difference
There are three different types of electrochemical cells?
false, there only two types of electrochemical cells. Wet and dry cells.
What tissue connects electrochemical impulses?
Nervous tissue contains cells that send and receive electrochemical signals.
What is Function of electrochemical cells in oxidation?
in the cathode
Can the metal plates in an electrochemical cell be made of the same metal?
Historically, no, each metal has its own redox potential and it is the difference between them that causes the flow of electrons with the electrolyte carrying the charge in the cell and the circuit between the metals that carries them outside the cell. However, there are now cells that do not use the metals to create the electrochemical potentials where the metals are only conductors wherein the metals are where the electrochemical reactions take place, but are not reactants. These have to have a membrane between the two reaction compartments to keep the two reactants from reacting in solution or in the gaseous state. These are more often referred to as batteries in my opinion, or as fuel cells.
What is the difference between cells and a factory?
the difference between a cell and a factory in that cells are in your body and factory is not
What are series of electrochemical cells?
These are the cells which convert chemical energy into electerical energy
What the difference between cylindrical and prismatic battery cells?
What is the difference between cylindrical and prismatic battery cells?
What body tissue transmits electrochemical impulses?
Nervous tissues are notorious for conducting the electrical as well as chemical impulses. The later occurring at synapsis which is the cleft between the connection of two nerve endings. Also heart cells can conduct electrochemical impulses.
Is Several Electrochemical Cells Stacked Together a battery?
false
